Abstract: In this article, we examine the role of the festivals known as Guelaguetzas that are or ganized among communities of Oaxacan (Oaxaca, Mexico) immigrants settled in Ca lifornia (United States), as a key factor for their internal consolidation process.We argue that all cultural activities displayed in such festivals allow a greater appreciation of the reconfiguration processes linking the places of origin and destination.Fur thermore, the organization of these festivals entails the creation of cultural spaces that allow a resignification of their contents by emphasizing three core elements of the so cial identity for these Oaxacan immigrants: the migrant condition, indigeneity, and the panOaxacan dimension.
