The Minga as a communicative Practice that Guides the Social Transformation of the Indigenous People of Chimborazo, Ecuador

Abstract

This article reflects on the way in which the minga as a communicative practice allows the transformation of the reality -as a whole- of the inhabitants of the Tixán and Totorillas parishes, province of Chimborazo Ecuador. It is a qualitative study that uses ethnography and observation to collect information. Among the results obtained, it could be concluded that it enables community action, reflection on a problem, efficient decision-making that allows collective intervention in reality, and especially, the interaction that has become a generator of social change.
