Migraciones africanas contemporáneas a México, vistas desde su frontera norte
This article aims to shed light on the migratory phenomenon of people of African origin arriving in Mexico, en route to the United States or Canada. For this, government statistical data was analyzed, along with information obtained through in-depth interviews with people of African origin in Tijuana, Baja California. The study identified a predominantly male migration pattern and a significant dispersion in places of origin, with West Africa bei…

Spirituality in spaces of waiting: Uncertainty and sacralization practices in migrant shelters at the US–Mexico border
This article aims to analyze the practices of sacralization deployed by migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers to cope with the waiting times to which they are subjected in contexts of migratory entrapment. The research is based on in-depth interviews and participant observation conducted in catholic, evangelical, Muslim, and secular shelters established in Tijuana (the northern border of Mexico), which we conceptualize as places of waiting. We i…

To Teach the Body What Is Not Good: Time, Space, and Embodiment in Religious Treatment for Drug Addiction
From a cultural phenomenology approach, this paper analyzes the experiences of spiritual warfare lived in an Evangelical Rehabilitation Center. The ethnographic study was conducted in Tijuana, B.C., Mexico. The discussion focuses on three paradigmatic cases, allowing us to analyze the transition from 'life in addiction' to the experience of transforming desires, which also implies a process of subjectivity. We argue that desire is a bodily phenom…

La era del atrapamiento migratorio: La migración africana hacia la frontera norte de México
In his classic book "Beyond the Line" (1994), Durand identifies six eras or stages in the history of Mexico/US migration, showing that in 130 years of migratory history there have been both continuities and important ruptures. In this article we argue that, due to the transformations that have occurred in the Mexican migration scenario, we find ourselves in a new stage, which we could call "the era of entrapment". In the following pages, we begin…
Narrative strategies to re-signify sexual violence among gender and sexuality diverse Central American migrants in Tijuana
This study discusses how gender and sexuality diverse Central American migrants, currently staying at shelters in Tijuana, reconstruct experiences of sexual violence in their lives, both during childhood and throughout their migratory journey. It analyses the narrative strategies used to re-signify these experiences in the present, to construct possible futures as sexual subjects. In-depth autobiographical interviews were conducted with nine Cent…
Oferta de servicios de salud sexual y reproductiva a personas migrantes centroamericanas en Tijuana
The provision of SRH services by civil society organizations is wide-ranging and heterogeneous. It ranges from strictly medical attention to other services that affect SRH indirectly, with a view to providing comprehensive care. This represents an opportunity in terms of aspects to facilitate access
Waiting in Motion. Migrants' Involvement in Civil Society Organizations While Pursuing a Migration Project
This article discusses how strandedness is produced for asylum seekers and migrants in northern Mexico. We argue that it is fundamental to place these populations’ subjective experiences at the core of the analysis to understand their active stance in making meaning of their circumstances. We suggest a typology for approaching the migration projects that emerge while stranded and discuss migrants and asylum seekers’ active involvement in Civil So…
Continuity, Shared Responsibility, and Pentecostal Ethics: Conversions and Deliverances in Northwestern Mexico
Religión, violencia y drogas en la frontera norte de México: La resemantización del mal en los centros de rehabilitación evangélicos de Tijuana, Baja California
Classical sociology tends to present religion and addictive processes as factors of alienation, opposed to agency. Violence, for its part, has been analyzed in a broad spectrum that ranges from an instrument of domination –for those who suffer it– to an instrument of action –on the part of those who exercise it. However, there are few analyses that observe how religion, addictions and violence are empirically interrelated in the subjective experi…
Altares domésticos hindúes en Tijuana: Un acercamiento a la recreación de la religiosidad en cuatro familias originarias de India
The purpose of this article is to study the adaptations and representations from which four immigrant families, from different regions in India and settled in Tijuana (Mexico), recreate their religious practice. After belonging to a context where Hinduism is predominant, their religious practice becomes a minority when they migrate to Mexico. This situation identifies the negotiations between materiality and its relationship with spirituality on …

El costo de disentir: Análisis de experiencias de ruptura de exmiembros de tres iglesias protestantes
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las causas y consecuencias de la disidencia religiosa entre miembros de los Testigos de Jehová, de la Iglesia adventista y de la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los Últimos Días. Desde una perspectiva fenomenológica, se observan las experiencias individuales reconstruyendo sus trayectorias mediante una metodología centrada en las identidades narrativas. A partir de los casos analizados, observamos q…
Embodiment and somatic modes of attention in the evangelical care model in drug rehabilitation centers (Tijuana, Mexico)
This article identifies how beliefs, practices, and religious communities converge in the structuring of the evangelical drug rehabilitation model (ERM). Based on a qualitative study, we propose that the ERM shapes the ways of interpreting emotions and sensations based on a beliefs system that conceives the body as a battle field between good and evil. Sensations produced through ritual experience and symptomatic manifestations relative to withdr…
The Perception of Violence in Narratives of Central American Migrants at the Border between Mexico and the United States
Migration from Central America through Mexico to reach the United States has acquired increasing visibility. When migrants arrive at the border, they hit a wall that requires them to choose among waiting indefinitely in Mexico, crossing the border clandestinely, or redefining their project of migration. Thus they find themselves trapped within their own mobility. This imposed interruption, however, provides an opportunity for them to reflect on t…
Percepciones de la violencia en los relatos de migrantes centroamericanos en la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos
La migración proveniente de América Central que atraviesa México para llegar a Estados Unidos ha adquirido una visibilidad creciente. Al llegar a la frontera, estos migrantes se topan contra un muro que les obliga a elegir entre esperar indefinidamente en México, solicitar asilo en Estados Unidos, cruzar clandestinamente la frontera o redefinir su proyecto migratorio. Así, se encuentran atrapados en la movilidad. Esta parada obligatoria es una op…
Productive Misunderstandings: The Ambivalent Relationship Between Religious-Based Treatments and the Lay State in Mexico

Pratiques religieuses et production de l’espace public en migration: Comparaison entre deux champs migratoires
By observing the presence of what we consider a ‘religious tool’ – a set of expressions convened to stimulate a territorialization of religious practices – we present religious practices identified as a base of spatial production in public space, in migratory contexts. By comparing the Mexico–United States migratory field (with Catholic migrants in Los Angeles) and that of Senegal–France (with Muslim migrants of Soninké origin in Paris), we show …

Figés dans le mouvement: Périodes et espaces d'attente des migrants mexicains expulsés des États-Unis
Aujourd’hui, après un siècle marqué par une forte mobilité, le système migratoire Mexique/États-Unis s’essouffle : le contrôle des frontières a été durci et de nouvelles procédures d’expulsion des migrants en situation irrégulière ont été mises en place. Les auteurs explorent ici les contextes et les expériences de ceux qui, expulsés et dans l’impossibilité de choisir une destination, restent « figés dans le mouvement », entre l’espoir de retrouv…
Crossing the Border: Mobility as a Resource in the Tijuana/San Diego and Tecún Umán/Tapachula Regions
This paper suggests that transborder mobility is crucial to the way individuals relate to space and the meanings that they construct about it. Based on ethnographic work carried out in the Tijuana/San Diego and Tecún Umán/Tapachula border regions, an analysis is conducted of the relationship between the border region and the spatial mobility of its inhabitants. We conclude that there are at least four possible ways of constructing mobility in bor…

El estudio está estructurado en tres ejes principales: la transformación de la apariencia física y su relación con la concepción subjetiva del cuerpo; la obediencia al sistema de normas como una tecnol…

Entre la espera y la esperanza: Construcción De La Esperanza en Internos De Centros De Rehabilitación
Los centros de rehabilitación para farmacodependientes, en la región fronteriza de Tijuana, México, son observados como lugares de espera, pues constituyen dispositivos construidos para aislar y retener a cada interno, durante un periodo mínimo de tres meses, con la finalidad de lograr el cese en el consumo de drogas. A través del trabajo etnográfico realizado en seis centros de rehabilitación, los autores describen la forma en que es vivida la e…
Dix années à franchir les frontières. La région Tijuana - San Diego vue en perspective
À partir d'entretiens menés en 1 995 et en 2005, l'auteur montre l'impact sur dix ans des politiques d'immigration de l'administration américaine sur les flux migratoires et sur le quotidien des habitants de la région Tijuana et San Diego, à cheval sur la côte californienne entre les États-Unis et le Mexique. Espace asymétrique entre le Nord et le Sud, la frontière n'est pas une simple aire de circulation, c'est aussi un espace d'interactions qui…
Migración e (in)tolerancia religiosa: Aportes Al Estudio Del Impacto De La Migración Internacional en La Percepción De La Diversidad Religiosa
La confrontación con un espacio social diferente exige a los mexicanos que migran a los Estados Unidos la reelaboración de un sinnúmero de referentes de identidad, entre los que destacan las creencias y las prácticas religiosas. Diversos estudios han mostrado la forma en que, en algunas ocasiones, quienes migran recurren a prácticas de la religiosidad popular para crear puentes y mantener vínculos con las comunidades de origen, mientras que en ot…

Movilidades geográficas y espirituales: Cambio religioso y migración México-Estados Unidos
En este trabajo sostenemos que la migración hacia los Estados Unidos constituye un importante factor de cambio en las creencias y prácticas religiosas de los mexicanos que se desplazan, incidiendo también en sus comunidades de origen. A partir del análisis de información estadística y etnográfica, concluimos que la exposición a un contexto de mayor diversidad religiosa, el distanciamiento de mecanismos tradicionales de control social y la vulnera…

Les traces des absences et des retours: Les empreintes de la migration sur le paysage religieux mexicain
La relation entre religion et migration a été principalement abordée à partir de la perspective des sociétés « d’accueil ». Que ce soit en s’attachant aux religions transnationales observables dans les grandes métropoles multiculturelles, ou bien en analysant la capacité des immigrants à adapter leur pratique religieuse dans un nouveau cadre de vie, l’accent est mis sur les lieux d’arrivée, laissant en deuxième terme l’examen des conséquences des…

Migración y cambio religioso en México: Perspectivas de análisis y agenda de investigación
La intensificación migratoria y la diversificación religiosa coinciden en México, en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, conformando así un extraordinario laboratorio para el análisis de la relación entre la movilidad geográfica y la transformación de prácticas y creencias religiosas. En este artículo, a partir de una revisión panorámica de las principales líneas de análisis surgidas en México, se presentan algunas de las aportaciones a este campo, y …

Making Los Angeles Home: The Integration of Mexican Immigrants in the United States
This book examines the different integration strategies implemented by Mexican immigrants in the Los Angeles region. In doing so, it provides an overview of Mexican migration and integration to the United States. Relying on statistical data and ethnographic information, the book analyzes four different dimensions of the immigrant integration process (economic, social, cultural, and political) and shows that there is no single path for its achieve…

L'entrelacement des réseaux migratoires et confessionnels dans le champ migratoire Mexique/États-Unis
Dans la région du Michoacán (Mexique), des migrants exploitent la maturité de leurs réseaux migratoires, en développant un réseau religieux à partir de l ́importation de répliques d’une image pieuse, dans les différents points où ils sont installés aux États-Unis. Dans la région du Morelos (Mexique), c’est l’existence d’un réseau religieux, les Adventistes du Septième Jour, qui a soutenu la mobilité transnationale, puis la consolidation des résea…
