Mirando el retorno desde la voz de los migrantes

Overview & Synopsis

With the intention of participating in and contributing to the debate on the social construction of the migrant subject in Latin America, this chapter presents the return experiences of migrants from Puebla, based on the interweaving of their biographical accounts, their practices and interactions, and certain theoretical references that make visible what these indigenous people of peasant origin, Nahuatl speakers, who traveled through the Ozolco-Philadelphia migratory circuit, think, feel, and do. They shared a space of experience within large processes of economic, social, cultural, and territorial change that required them to confront the problems of their reality through understanding and appropriation of the other, with roots in cultural practices that presented a recognition of their ethnic identity, which shows a particular returned migrant, according to the historical and spatial circumstances in which they lived.
