Emotions and gendered experiences of livelihood migration: Memos from Nicaragua and Guatemala
With increasingly difficult conditions for smallholder agricultural production, labor migration is an essential component of livelihoods for many rural families in the Global South. This migration is gendered and is often normalized as part of households' livelihood portfolios. Yet it also can reproduce livelihood precarity and help maintain underlying structural inequalities. The role of labor migration as a livelihood strategy therefore require…
Health in Transit: A case study on the migratory trajectories of Haitian populations in Chile and Mexico
Current migration journeys often involve crossing several borders, exposing migrants to numerous difficulties and dangers. This article qualitatively describes the migrant trajectories of twenty-five Haitian migrants who intended to travel from Chile to Mexico in an attempt to cross into the United States, delving into the dynamic physical and mental health outcomes at different phases of their journey. Our findings reveal that Haitian participan…

In the Shadow of the Green Revolution: Constrained Spatial Imaginaries and Smallholder Farming in Guatemala’s Pacific Lowlands
Much smallholder farming currently exists side by side with large-scale, industrial agriculture, as an outcome of the Green Revolution unfolding in uneven and dualistic terms. In Guatemala’s Pacific lowlands, state incentives fuel expansion of industrial export agriculture. Large-scale sugarcane production has come to surround rural farming communities, where small-scale farmers grow maize and sesame with little state support. Drawing on a survey…
The Border-Development-Climate Change Nexus: Precarious Campesinos at the Selva Maya Mexico–Guatemala Border
Borderlands can be places of socio-economic tensions, development challenges, and ecological risks, now exacerbated by climate change. We investigate the border-development-climate change nexus using research from Calakmul, Mexico and Petén, Guatemala, to detail the lived experiences and vulnerabilities of campesinos in the Selva Maya cross-border region. Our mixed methods approach combines historical analysis and ethnographic interviews with 70 …
Hoping for a Better Future during Covid-19: How Migration Plans Are Protective of Depressive Symptoms for Haitian Migrants Living in Chile
This paper explores the migration experiences, perceived COVID-19 impacts, and depression symptoms among Haitian migrants living in Santiago, Chile. Ninety-five participants from eight neighborhoods with a high density of Haitian migrants were recruited. Descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, and logistic regression analysis were conducted. Chi-squared tests were used to confirm univariate results. We found that 22% of participants had majo…

Migration matters: How migration is critical to contemporary human-environment geography
Human migration plays a critical role in numerous contemporary environmental concerns including global climate change and environmental justice. This review characterizes the ways migration is critical to contemporary human-environment geography. We delineate four themes from the literature based on (a) how migration affects the environment; (b) how the environment and/or environmental events affect migration; (c) how migration produces uneven en…
Subsistence migration: Smallholder food security and the maintenance of agriculture through mobility in Nicaragua
Research on Central American migration has revealed the importance of journeys to the global North for rural sending communities. The outcomes of south-south journeys to nearby countries are less explored, although they are commonplace. We examine Nicaraguan rural residents' migration to other Central American countries, especially El Salvador, to understand this migration's impacts on agricultural systems and food security. Based on mixed-method…
Mexican bureaucrats and the everyday restriction of transnational migration in a context of scarcity
Mexican bureaucrats and the everyday restriction of transnational migration in a context of scarcity. Territory, Politics, Governance. Examining the everyday practices of the state is crucial to our understanding of the multiple ways that governments regulate transnational migration. While geographers have increasingly focused on these practices at a broad, institutional scale and in sites in the Global North, less attention has been given to the…
Toward a Political Ecology of Migration: Land, Labor Migration, and Climate Change in Northwestern Nicaragua
"Migration and Development? The Gendered Costs of Migration on Mexico's Rural "Left Behind
Governments, civil society, and policymakers assert the potential of international migration to foster development and alleviate poverty. Often such claims are rooted in macroscale geopolitical analyses of migration and development, which mask the localized, uneven, and embodied ways family members "left behind" bear the costs and subsidize the U.S./Mexico (inter)national integration project. Informed by feminist geopolitics, this article demonst…
Everyday Restriction: Central American Women and the State in the Mexico-Guatemala Border City of Tapachula
Media coverage and emerging scholarship have brought increasing international attention to the urgent humanitarian crisis facing Central American transmigrants as they navigate landscapes of violence in Mexico. While stories of Central American immigrants who remain in Mexico are largely absent from this coverage, there is arguably a “Central Americanization” occurring on the southern border through this permanent settlement. Central Americans ch…
Role playing: A feminist-geopolitical analysis of the everyday workings of the Mexican state
Participatory methods are increasingly important to geographical research of ‘the everyday,’ yet their viability as a means to understand on-the-ground geopolitical processes has been less explored. This article contributes to the growing body of literature on participatory research in geography and feminist geopolitics by arguing for the use of a specific participatory tool – role play. We present an example of our employment of the technique in…
Community participatory appraisal in migration research: Connecting neoliberalism, rural restructuring and mobility
This article argues for a ‘participatory turn’ in migration research – one that incorporates participatory methods as a complementary or principal means for examining transnational migration. We make the case for using participatory appraisal (PA) in migration studies by presenting illustrative examples of how this approach enriched research we conducted in Veracruz, Mexico, on neoliberalism, agrarian transformation and migration. We facilitated …
