Abstract: In Mexican cities, indigenous migrant women continue to work in very precarious forms of street selling, although these are no longer profitable and generate a strong stigma. Based on an ethnographic survey, this article examines how street selling relates to family and community organization, analyzing interethnic relations, gender and mobility patterns. It proves that the marginal insertion of indigenous women in street selling derives not only from the reproduction of social hierarchies and from gendered and ethnicized representations of indigenous migrants, but also reflects the agency of the sellers and the construction of a collective identity specific to the indigenous migrant group.
