| 總結: | This work analyzes the survival strategies –based on negotiations with local and federal authorities– used by street laborers to face urban poverty in the Mexican capital during the first three decades of the 20th century. in general terms, I seek to describe how people who sought their sustenance in the streets, and who were not workers or craftsmen, managed to survive. By exploring their social relations, I seek to foreground the increasing visibility of these actors in their interaction with the authorities during that period, particularly with the employees of revolutionary governments. The paper, which is based on a more extensive research about street labor in Mexico City, turns to a number of theoretical proposals that consider reciprocal exchange networks as the base for survival during critical times such as the general supply crisis in the decade of the Revolution.
