Abstract

The present research aims to reveal the sociodemographic characteristics that affect the conditions of social vulnerability of the Afro-Mexican population of the municipality of Copala, Guerrero. Although there are many anthropological, ethnographic and sociological investigations, so far this article is one of the first that addresses the Afro-Mexican population of Guerrero from a territorial perspective. In that order of ideas, the present work is the result of the processing of official statistical information published by the Instituto Nacional de Geografía y Estadística (INEGI) and the review of the specialized literature on categories such as social vulnerability and poverty, due to its relevance for the analysis of the adverse socioeconomic situation of Afro-descendants in the state of Guerrero
