Indigenous Companies and Organizations in Mexico: Alternative Modalities of Etnodesarrollo

Abstract: This article uses the analog hermeneutic method to carry out an analysis of indigenous companies and organizations, emphasizing the categories of power, domination and exploitation that occur in the different forms of community work in Mexico; in that, we find an association between ethics, worldview, productivity and identity that sustain its administration. The study presents diverse evidences of a dynamic model of the relations between social and cultural capital, as an alternative model of sustainable development, despite its limitation is the need to extend these studies attending to the state and regional particularities of the country.

Key words: indigenous organizations; community work; worldview; ethics; sustainability
