Publisher's Synopsis
This paper answers an essential question: What is the socio-historical, economic, political, social and cultural process that the demarcation of study goes through and that allows us to explore, describe, explain and understand its transformation from a peripheral locality to a magical centrality? The answer to this question lies in the documents of the municipality, the discourses of its inhabitants, the perceptions of its migrants, the policies of its authorities and the strategies of its merchants.
