Lomas de Casa Blanca is also Queretaro: cardboard and stone stories

Abstract

This article presents the results of a qualitative study conducted between 2021 and 2022 in the Lomas de Casa Blanca neighborhood. The general objective, grounded in the theoretical approach of local and oral history, was to explore the foundation and growth of this area through the application of hemerographic research techniques and open interviews. The study sought to describe, in the voices of the neighborhood's residents, how Lomas emerged, the conditions in which its first settlers lived, the challenges they faced, and the changes they perceive, particularly regarding gang activity, a phenomenon supposedly endogenous to the neighborhood.
