Descripción
Sumario:This paper offers an analysis of the human right to adequate housing from the perspective of urbanized indigenous populations in Mexico City, using the case of the Triqui community of La Candelaria. A double approach underlies such analysis: the United Nations human right to housing and intersectionality, which brings together various categories of exclusion. The Triqui people’s quest for housing shows the need, as State action, to integrally tend to their human rights in a context crossed by discrimination.
