Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: It has long been recognized that cities invariably have a number of �outlaw� or �gray� areas where formal policing and regulatory reach is constrained. Sometimes these areas are seen as �ghettos� and the lawlessness blamed on the cultural or racial traits of the residents. At other times they are seen as �marginalized�, although they may be in the city center. In this paper I will present a third alternative by focusing on a community in the center of Mexico City called Tepito where predominant activities range from �soft� illegalities such as street vending without a permit to �harder� illegalities such as selling pirated and smuggled goods, to the �hardest� illegalities such as drug distribution. Our argument is that, while these activities are carried out by different individuals in different networks, they are united in their opposition to a �formal/official� regime that would prefer to get rid of all of them. This opposition, born out of the historical marginality of the community, has created a communal mythology that incorporates an acknowledgement of the community as deviant. Thus, the community in fact has developed a �culture of resistance� to the dominant political-social system, thus creating a �protected space� for deviant activities.
