Mexico Struggle and Resilience of Migrant Indigenous Communities in Irregular Settlements in Mexico
The rapid industrialization of Monterrey in the last century and the lack of attention to social
demands have hyper stratified social interaction in the city. Monterrey embodies the structural
inequalities of Mexico and Latin America, where migrant indigenous people have had to face
constant economic and social pressures, and at the same time remain the most invisible in the
Northern Mexican society. This study aims to describe and explore to what extent the irregular status of urban settlements hinders the access to regulated basic services from migrant indigenous groups in the Monterrey Metropolitan Area and if this perpetuates the cycle of poverty.
