In 2017 I carried out field research in El Alto, Bolivia, for my PhD in History at the Fluminense Federal University. The proposal was a study of the experience of the local councils cald juntas vecinales, grassroots territorial organizations that are nourished by marked influences from the modern-western world, indigenous communitarianism and trade unionism. In this article, I bring some of the accumulations produced from this experience considering the theoretical contributions of the aymara sociologist Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui with regard to her defense of the Ch'ixi World as a decolonial possibility to reflect on indigenous identities in urban contexts.
