La ciudad invade al ejido: Proletarizarían, urbanización y lucha política en el Cerro del Judío, D.F

The Communal Roots of Mexico’s Maquila Industry: Urbanization, Land, and Inequality in Ciudad Juárez, 1960–2000

“…In general, current scholarship presents the urbanization of Mexico's ejidal lands in the following typical pattern: ejidos on the periphery of urban areas (periurban) were often sites of informal settlement, rapid and chaotic urbanization, and a lack of infrastructure and investment in the decades following Mexico's 1960 urban turn (Salazar, Reis, and Varley 2022;Barleta et al 2020;Schumacher et al 2019;Lombard 2016;Parramond 2008;Jones and Ward 1998). Following this classic model, inalienable yet invaded ejidal lands were increasingly expropriated by the state beginning in the 1970s to regularize existing migrant settlements and facilitate new public works projects (for more on the history of the ejido and land tenure regularization in Mexico in the latter half of the twentieth century, see Appendini 2001;Azuela and Duhau 1998;Durand 1983). Often, this resulted in the creation of periurban landscapes characterized by impoverishment and sprawl.…”
