Sumario:This paper presents results from current research on displaced persons. A little-studied aspect concerns the possibilities of insertion in violent contexts when they come from settings stigmatized by their geographical location and drug cultivation. Using an interdisciplinary approach comprising micro sociology and ethnography, a case study combined with the life course perspective allows one to observe: 1) the displacement process; 2) the life conditions and expectations for displaced persons in the reception context (Atoyac de Álvarez), and 3) the stereotypes and social stigma surrounding farm workers from the highlands, which restricts their chances of settling and exercising their rights.
