Biographies of Emigrant Politicization
Using comparative qualitative methods based on extensive field research, this chapter examines the process through which 10 migrants became politically engaged and influential actors in their home communities. The analysis shows that the most influential migrant political actors from the state of Oaxaca have entered the fray in opposition to dominant powers back home. In contrast, the migrants who have been most influential in the states of Guana…
Engagement Through the Diaspora Channel
The first empirical task is to identify the characteristics of municipalities which US-based migrants have come together to support financially. Using a nationwide, municipal-level data set compiled by the author, the chapter estimates several multivariate statistical models to compare municipalities that did not benefit from the 3x1 Program for Migrants with those that did, and seeks to explain variation in the number and value of 3x1 projects. …
Migrants as Agents of Democratization?
How do migrants affect the political systems of their municipalities of origin? This chapter seeks to understand the factors that lead to a range of possible outcomes. To do this, it employs a comparative subnational research design to analyze ethnographic data gathered from 12 high-migration municipalities in the states of Oaxaca, Guanajuato, and Zacatecas. The chapter documents how migrants have interacted with home-country political actors and…
A Wave that Didn’t Break?
The growing economic and social importance of migration in some municipalities does seem to help migrant political actors to gain influence back home and can open up a pathway to local power for historically excluded social groups. However, in the cases examined in this book, it has proven much more difficult for this influence to translate into fundamental changes in the way that politics are done. The chapter revisits the answers given to the b…
When the Road to the Mayor’s Office Crosses the Border
Are migrant politicians more likely to align with dominant political actors or the opposition when they return home? Do they come from different socioeconomic backgrounds than non-migrants? In sum, does the political empowerment of migrants change the face of local political power in substantively important ways; or rather, does any power gained simply shore up already dominant social and political groups? To answer this question the chapter anal…
Politics at Home Abroad
Despite intense migratory flows between Mexico and the United States, migrants have had surprisingly low participation and impact in national politics in Mexico. Nevertheless, this book begins by hypothesizing that participation may be more robust and impact more noteworthy at the subnational level due to the fact that the economic and social importance of migration varies widely within Mexico. Based on this framing, three related research questi…
Emigrants Get Political
Migrants who live abroad or who return home after many years have become an important constituency throughout the world. This book examines Mexican migrant engagement in origin communities and finds that at times migrants powerfully impact political dynamics there, both from abroad and upon their return. Migrant hometown engagement, the subject of the book, can result in a range of different political outcomes in migrant-sending municipalities. H…
Latin America's multicultural movements
Ethnic Identity, Informal Institutions, and the Failure to Elect Women in Indigenous Southern Mexico
This article argues that the low levels of descriptive representation of women in local political office in Mexico and Latin America is much more than a problem of the purported patriarchal cultures of indigenous and rural communities. We claim, based on a comprehensive survey of 466 municipal governments in the indigenous state of Oaxaca, that the underrepresentation of women is a function of institutions limiting female candidates. We test this…
Walking Together, but in Which Direction? Gender Discrimination and Multicultural Practices in Oaxaca, Mexico
This article partly confirms the long-held view that multiculturalism discriminates against women. Indeed, for a majority of cases where multicultural electoral practices were recently recognized in our Oaxaca, Mexico survey sample, women did not participate in elections. However, female respondent participation in leader selection in multicultural communities was actually found to be higher in the few communities where locally established multic…
