Pentecostalismo rural y urbano en México, diferencias y semejanzas Trabajo y urbe.
- Carlos Garma Navarro. Pentecostalismo rural y urbano en México, diferencias y semejanzas Trabajo y urbe. Garma Navarro. Carlos. Rural and urban Pentecostalism In Mexico. differences and simlarities. Retaking the investigation outline about religious minorities. Garma Navarro compares the effects of the religious convertion in notably differentiate contexts. He centers his attention in the Pentecostal churches. because they represent the protestant branch with a higher number of followers in Latin America. He chooses for his analysis the town of lxtepec, located in the North Mountain Range of Puebla. where most of the population is native (totonaca): and the town of Iztapalapa. an ancient settlement of nahuatl origin that was absorved by the constant growing of Mexico City. but it still has strong traditions of popular catholic religiousness. and at the same time. it counts whit the higher concentration of protestant chapels allover the metropolitan area. Therefore. the author compares the urban and rural environments: a) the economical impact and the behavioural patterns of the protestants: b) the meaning of the religious convertion over the family unity and relationships: c) the internal organization and the political effect over leadership among the Pentecostals and. d) the similarities observed in the city and in the country in the beliefs and the pentecostal ritual cosmogony. that makes this religion an useful bridge between the rural life and the urban one.

La condición urbana de la clase obrera en el Distrito Federal
- Raúl Nieto Calleja. La condición urbana de la clase obrera en el Distrito Federal. Nieto Calleja. Raúl. The urban condition of the working class In Mexico City. This document proposes that the tendencies pointing towards the social homogenization do not exclude the cultural heterogeneity and it gives as a result the social heterogeneity that the life in the city tends to hide in an apparent urban homogeneity. To this effect. the fact is that different forms of life of the working class from the northern part of Mexico City is brought. and gives place to a differentiated urban condition (situation which is ignored when generalizations are made about social groups o entire societies. and that have to be rethought). Nieto Calleja sets three questions: Are there ways or forms of life. views of the world or properly named urban cultures and ind ustrial ones?: Which is the weight of modernity and tradition on them?: and. What results from this encounter? To answer these questions. Nieto Calleja analyses traditional proletary suburbs and habitation complexes with a high concentration of working class population (all of them in the Azcapotzalco Jurisdiction). where he observes that different urban niches (at the same city) mark the working class with a particular condition and that their cultural and urban practices are not homogeneous: on the contrary. they depend upon the age group. the kind of settlement they live in. the gender and the experience of urban life in the last generation.
