Abstract:As a result of US immigration and enforcement policies, Mexico has experienced the arrival of mixed-status families coming from the USA. We examine these families’ experiences of return to central Mexico through the lens of a ‘context of return’, by focusing on how the Mexican government, particularly schools, has received returned migrants. Based on in-depth interviews with thirteen mixed-status who returned to Mexico in 2005-2010, we show how the citizenship and legal status of the various family members determine their incorporation in Mexico. As these legal statuses are shaped by both the US context of reception and the Mexican context of return, we argue that the two contexts are intimately related and shape the contour of the families and their incorporation upon their return. 摘要:作为美国的移民和执法政策的一个结果,墨西哥正在经历混合国籍家庭从美国的回流潮。我们从“回流环境”的角度来研究这些家庭返回墨西哥中部的经历,重点关注墨西哥政府,特别是墨西哥学校怎样接受回流的移民。基于对13个在2005-2010年间回到墨西哥的混合国籍家庭的深入访谈,我们展示了家庭成员的各种国籍和法律地位如何决定了他们在墨西哥的融入。因为这些人员的法律地位是在美国接收移民和墨西哥回流移民两个背景环境中形成的,我们认为,这两个背景环境是密切相关的,它们塑造了家庭的面貌和回流墨西哥后的融入。 Keywords: international migration, return migration, mixed-status families, context of return, Mexico, US immigration enforcement 关键字: 国际移民,回流移民,混合身份家庭,回流的环境,墨西哥,美国移民执法 作者:Dulce Medina 来源:Ethnic and Racial Studies 2015, Volume 38, No.12 (责任编辑:admin) |
