The purpose of this paper is to analyze the systems of social integration of the population Mixteca in the Mé xico City. Coming from the Mixteca region in Oaxaca's state, they have re-settled themselves in the peripheral colony San Miguel Teotongo, establishing ethnic enclaves. Holding their ethnic network, the Mixtecos immigrants (and their children born in the city) have struggled for their right to the city. They have also adapted to the world neoliberal economy creating stores in their own homes, shifting from an employed to a self-employed status.
