Description

Oaxaca de Juárez, before "Antequera de New Spain", extends to the foot of Monte Albán, a pioneer city in the use of writing, urban planning and the administration of a multiethnic state. Both sites were declared a World Heritage by UNESCO. We will probe here the contradictions between conservation and (AB) use of biocultural heritage, in an impoverished region that lives from tourism and migrants remittances in this 21st century.
