Violence against indigenous peoples has silent forces that go from those imposed historically under economic and subjective pressures to those openly manifest, such as the ones experienced through forced displacement performed, for example, by expropriation. The current urban expansion takes advantage of these resources that, nevertheless, show variants that disregard rights violated not only by large investors, but also by authorities who use long-established instruments such as institutional racism. This paper addresses the ways in which urban development dispossesses the people of the municipality of San Andrés Cholula of their land and future, using documentary and ethnographic research that allows us to follow, through local theory, the ways in which this violence has been exercised, but also resisted, for a long time.

Palabras llave : violence; institutionalized racism; real estate agencies; San Andrés Cholula.
