This book is the result of the collective effort of the people of a small, rural town absorbed by urban development at the southern tip of Mexico City. It is made up of memories about the lives they shared with their parents while young and with the same neighbors that now gather to recall the games, the food, the streets and the activities that used to be part of their daily lives.It presents a way to build a future that rescues the nature of the community based on the sense of identity that still binds them together as members of the town, in spite of the segregating trends in city dynamics.
