| Spanish abstract | En este artículo se analiza la relación entre identidades comunitarias, indígenas y étnicas de las comunidades de Ixtlán y Guelatao en la Sierra Norte de Oaxaca, México. Entre sus habitantes, las identidades locales y el sentido de pertenencia prevalecen sobre la identificación étnica. El fortalecimiento de la identidad local -fundamentada en la comunidad- se ha logrado a través de una organización social interna y de la categorización de sus habitantes con base en su origen como mecanismo de integración, particularmente en comunidades diversas con un gran número de foráneos. Paralelamente a esto, han emergido nuevas formas de definirse como indígenas a través de la práctica de la comunalidad y del sentido de pertenencia a las comunidades, sin hacer referencia a la etnicidad |
| English abstract | This article analyses the relationship between ethnic, indigenous and community-based identities in the communities of Ixtlán and Guelatao in the Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, Mexico. Local identities and sense of belonging to the communities prevail over ethnic identification amongst the inhabitants of these communities. The strengthening of local (community-based) identity has been achieved through an internal social organisation and categorisation of the inhabitants based on their origin as a mechanism of integration, particularly in diverse communities with large numbers of outsiders. Parallel to this, new ways of defining indigenousness, without ethnic claims, are emerging through making reference to the practice of comunalidad and attachment to localities/communities |
