| Sumario: | This work tries to apply the various meanings of the term frontera (border) (understood as
a boundary, as colonizations front line, and as a symbolic and an ethnic divide) to the life
experiences of Guatemalan refugees in Mexico, which unfolds in two phases: asylum and
integration. An analysis of information gathered from fieldwork during these two processes

whereas prevalence of ethnic divisions characterizes the second phase, as the former
refugees and Mexicans who were interviewed revealed. |
