In Mexican communities, mano vuelta, “the returned hand,” is a form of reciprocity in which effort is repaid with effort. A 2022 article in the Revista Latinoamericana de Antropología del Trabajo describes it as the creation of “una deuda social” (a social debt) “que se deberá pagar prestando un esfuerzo” (that must be paid by lending effort). Different regions, the article notes, call it mano de vuelta, guelaguetza or tequio.
