Using interpretative analysis methods, the paper looks at policy and analyzes the meaning, values and judgements implicit in the devices that gave footing to the program's creation and of the analysis of six interviews with public officials in a position to make decisions and that participated in part in the creation or modification of the program. The results show that the prejudices of the culture of poverty are present in the documents that gave rise to the program, in the founding documents of the program and within the narratives of said public officials.

In Mexico, during the 2012-2018 six-year term, the National Crusade against Hunger (CNCH) was implemented, in which social participation played a central role in combating the lack of access to food and promoting social welfare. With the creation of Community Committees and the support from promoter staff, this strategy aimed to strengthen and ensure the active and constant involvement of the population; however, there were a number of factors that had an impact on the difficulties in achieving sustained community participation. The objective of this paper is to show the factors that limited social participation in the implementation of the CNCH in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, through the voices of the implementing staff.

Based on a multiple case study developed in three periurban locations in central Mexico, this paper aims to present the theoretical model that was used in the analysis of social reproduction strategies of periurban households. To this purpose, Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical approaches to the reproductive dynamics of the social world, as well as the central categories of field, habitus and capital, are recovered. The proposed model allows explaining the factors involved in the formation of reproductive strategies systems at the locality level, as well as the attachment or deviation of family practices to that system. Beyond its potential for the analysis of social reproduction in the periurban territory, it is considered that this model may be appropriate for the analysis of family strategies in contexts of profound structural changes.
