Abstract
I dedicate this thesis to my parents, who came to this country after the Mexican economic collapse caused by the 1994 NAFTA enactment. My parents, as immigrants, know the struggles of leaving their land, their customs, and their families behind without forgetting their ancestral indigenous roots. My parents taught me the value of hard work, community, interdependence, and family. Thanks to them, I continue transmitting these values to the next generations. And to my wonderful husband, I want to thank him for his unconditional support and encouragement, for believing in all my projects, and for being present and reassuring in my worst moments. Finally, I want to thank my wonderful teenage child and best friend, who always motivates me to continue growing and helps me believe that this life is worth living despite our adversities.
