Abstract: The article studies a network of festive exchanges between authorities representing about twenty Mixtec communities in Oaxaca, Mexico. Divided into three parts, the first deals with the nature and history of these intercommunity exchanges; in the second, the donation and reception of these exchanges is ethnographically reconstructed; finally, the third part establishes some lines of reflection derived from this complex and multidimensional phenomenon. Thus, with this ethnographic work, we intend to contribute to the updating of the anthropological debate on the forms of exchange and reciprocity.
