CHAVEZ RODRIGUEZ, Jesús Rafael  e  FRIAS SARMIENTO, Eduardo. Regional Modernization and Centrality in the Case of Guamuchil, Sinaloa, Mexico (1940-1960). Am. Lat. Hist. Econ [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.3, pp.174-203. ISSN 2007-3496.  https://doi.org/10.18232/alhe.v23i3.721.

This article analyzes a period of two decades that represents the initial growth of the city of Guamuchil, a built-up area in the Evora region, in the agrarian zone of the state of Sinaloa in the north west of Mexico. During the two decades that elapsed between 1940 and 1960, Guamuchil acquired importance in the region due to the modernizing effects of its area of influence, permitting higher production levels and crop diversification. This brought about the concentration of economic and social activities in a specific point in the region: the city of Guamuchil, a location that cannot be classified as either entirely rural or urban.

Palavras-chave : region; rural; urban; modernization; centrality.
