Ruta transnacional
Este libro presenta no solo una mirada perifrica a la construccin de la Mara Salvatrucha, sino un acercamiento a la comunidad salvadorea que reside en Los ngeles y que se vincula trasnacionalmente. Este anlisis reconstruye las condiciones sociales e histricas de la produccin, la circulacin y la recepcin de las formas y discursos emitidos por los sujetos.
God's Gangs
Winner, 2014 Distinguished Contribution to Research Award presented by the Latina/o Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association Los Angeles is the epicenter of the American gang problem. Rituals and customs from Los Angeles’ eastside gangs, including hand signals, graffiti, and clothing styles, have spread to small towns and big cities alike. Many see the problem with gangs as related to urban marginality—for a Latino immigrant population struggling with poverty and social integration, gangs offer a close-knit community. Yet, as Edward Orozco Flores argues in God’s Gangs, gang members can be successfully redirected out of gangs through efforts that change the context in ...
Adiós Niño
In Adiós Niño: The Gangs of Guatemala City and the Politics of Death, Deborah T. Levenson examines transformations in the Guatemalan gangs called Maras from their emergence in the 1980s to the early 2000s. A historical study, Adiós Niño describes how fragile spaces of friendship and exploration turned into rigid and violent ones in which youth, and especially young men, came to employ death as a natural way of living for the short period that they expected to survive. Levenson relates the stark changes in the Maras to global, national, and urban deterioration; transregional gangs that intersect with the drug trade; and the Guatemalan military's obliteration of radical popular movements a...
Reunited
In the second decade of the twenty-first century, an increasing number of children from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala began arriving without parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. In many cases, the parents had left for the United States years earlier to earn money that they could send back home. In Reunited sociologists Ernesto Castañeda and Daniel Jenks explain the reasons for Central American youths’ migration, describe the journey, and document how the young migrants experience separation from and subsequent reunification with their families. In interviews with Central American youth, their sponsors, and social services practitioners in and around Washington, D.C., Castañeda and J...

Parcels
In light of new proposals to control undocumented migrants in the United States, Parcels prioritizes rural Salvadoran remembering in an effort to combat the collective amnesia that supports the logic of these historically myopic strategies. Mike Anastario investigates the social memories of individuals from a town he refers to as “El Norteño,” a rural municipality in El Salvador that was heavily impacted by the Salvadoran Civil War, which in turn fueled a mass exodus to the United States. By working with two viajeros (travelers) who exchanged encomiendas (parcels containing food, medicine, documents, photographs and letters) between those in the U.S. and El Salvador, Anastario tells the...
Migrant Feelings, Migrant Knowledge
The digital storytelling project Humanizing Deportation invites migrants to present their own stories in the world’s largest and most diverse archive of its kind. Since 2017, more than 300 community storytellers have created their own audiovisual testimonial narratives, sharing their personal experiences of migration and repatriation. With Migrant Feelings, Migrant Knowledge, the project’s coordinator, Robert Irwin, and other team members introduce the project’s innovative participatory methodology, drawing out key issues regarding the human consequences of contemporary migration control regimes, as well as insights from migrants whose world-making endeavors may challenge what we think...
Latinyorks
En la actualidad, hablar de contextos (in)migratorios es hablar de una serie de complejidades que rebasan las disciplinas y los marcos explicativos y comprensivos. Cuando pensamos en las movilidades humanas y las migraciones internacionales nos referimos a sociedades que se mueven y se desarrollan sobre uno, dos o más territorios, pero también a la creación de un tercer espacio que se circunscribe como un mundo de vida paralelo y simultáneo donde cada acción, pensamiento, recuerdo y palabra de las personas y las comunidades (in)migrantes resuena más allá de las fronteras y las temporalidades. Latinyorks. Identidad cultural y asimilación de los (in)migrantes latinoamericanos en Nueva York es un trabajo de investigación teórica, empírica y comparada que narra la experiencia de inserción de las y los (in)migrantes jóvenes latinoamericanos de primera, segunda e intermedia generación que estudian, trabajan y crean su vida presente y futura en Nueva York. En esta ciudad diseñan sus identidades entre la experiencia de su (in)migración —espacial, social y cívico-cultural— y el imaginario transnacional.
Caravanas
Las caravanas son la estrategia migratoria más reciente adoptada por las personas provenientes fundamentalmente de Centroamérica -si bien existen antecedentes - con una doble finalidad: escapar de las condiciones de diversas violencias, persecuciones, problemas medioambientales, pobreza y hambre de sus lugares de origen y, al mismo tiempo, enfrentar los crecientes riesgos y minimizar los costos que implica el tránsito por el territorio mexicano -secuestros, extorsiones, violaciones, etc-. A partir de la observación a través de un intenso trabajo de campo en las fronteras y en otros puntos del territorio mexicano, de numerosos testimonios de personas migrantes, de autoridades y funcionar...
