"This volume provides a vivid portrait of a transnational migrant community anchored in both the remote Mixteca region of Oaxaca and the San Diego metropolitan area. Drawing on surveys and interviews with migrants and potential migrants conducted by a binational research team in 2007-2008, the contributors show how the Oaxaca-based and the California-based natives of the town of San Miguel Tlacotepec have built parallel communities separated by an increasingly fortified international border. Their findings shed important new light on a range of vital issues in US immigration policy, including the efficacy and impact of border enforcement, how undocumented status affects health and education outcomes, and how modern telecommunications are shaping transborder migrant networks." -- Book cover.

"Laura Velasco Ortiz investigates groups located on both sides of the border that have maintained strong links with towns and villages in the Mixteca region of Oaxaca in order to understand how this transformation came about. Through a combination of survey, ethnography, and biography, she examines the formation of ethnic identity under the conditions of international migration, giving special attention to the emergence of organizations and their leaders as collective and individual ethnic agents of change."--BOOK JACKET.

Download A Nation of Emigrants Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
What do governments do when much of their population simply gets up and walks away? In Mexico and other migrant-sending countries, mass emigration prompts governments to negotiate a new social contract with their citizens abroad. After decades of failed efforts to control outflow, the Mexican state now emphasizes voluntary ties, dual nationality, and rights over obligations. In this groundbreaking book, David Fitzgerald examines a region of Mexico whose citizens have been migrating to the United States for more than a century. He finds that emigrant citizenship does not signal the decline of the nation-state but does lead to a new form of citizenship, and that bureaucratic efforts to manage emigration and its effects are based on the membership model of the Catholic Church.

Download Return Migration from Canada and the United States Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This study analyzes the impact of labor migration on a Mixtec-speaking sending community in the Mixteca Alta of Oaxaca, Mexico. It considers migrant destinations, work experiences, skills and techniques learned abroad and possibly applied in the sending community, and remittances brought or sent home. This study seeks to provide an increased theoretical understanding of the concept of a migration stream and then demonstrate that each migration stream is made of distinct characteristics which correspond to specific changes and ramifications in the sending community. The emphasis is on comparing international migration between Mexico and Canada through a guestworker program to migration to the United States, with additional discussion of internal migration to Mexico City. Specifically, this project analyzes the impact of different types of migration on community political and religious structures, on the lives of women, on traditional artisan production, on community agriculture, and on perceptions of Mixtec culture and ethnicity. The ultimate goal of this research is a better understanding of how migration types are related to community change and ultimately community and regional perspectives of development and improvement in the quality of life. The analysis of the ramifications and potential benefits of migration on individuals and families dependent on migration in the Mixteca Alta has vital implications not only for future development in the Mixteca itself, but also as a model for community development testing and application in similarly-affected areas of Mexico and other countries. This study also provides perspectives on the benefits and challenges of international contract labor, insights significant for immigration and labor policy planners worldwide.

Download Mixtec Evangelicals Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Mixtec Evangelicals is a comparative ethnography of four Mixtec communities in Oaxaca, detailing the process by which economic migration and religious conversion combine to change the social and cultural makeup of predominantly folk-Catholic communities. The book describes the effects on the home communities of the Mixtecs who travel to northern Mexico and the United States in search of wage labor and return having converted from their rural Catholic roots to Evangelical Protestant religions. O’Connor identifies globalization as the root cause of this process. She demonstrates the ways that neoliberal policies have forced Mixtecs to migrate and how migration provides the contexts for conversion. Converts challenge the set of customs governing their Mixtec villages by refusing to participate in the Catholic ceremonies and social gatherings that are at the center of traditional village life. The home communities have responded in a number of ways—ranging from expulsion of converts to partial acceptance and adjustments within the village—depending on the circumstances of conversion and number of converts returning. Presenting data and case studies resulting from O’Connor’s ethnographic field research in Oaxaca and various migrant settlements in Mexico and the United States, Mixtec Evangelicals explores this phenomenon of globalization and observes how ancient communities are changed by their own emissaries to the outside world. Students and scholars of anthropology, Latin American studies, and religion will find much in this book to inform their understanding of globalization, modernity, indigeneity, and religious change.
