Burning for Sustainability
Land and leña
Going North, coming South
Understanding the return aspect of international migration is vital because returnees replete with new ideas, perceptions on life, and monies affect every dimension of social life in migrants’ places of origin. Yet, return migration remains uneven and an understudied aspect of migratory flows because migration scholars have privileged why individuals migrate, the underlying motivations for their moves abroad, and how migrants assimilate and succe…
Guatemala's Ladino and Maya Migra Landscapes
International migration reorganizes livelihoods in the developing world. As globalization and transnational processes increase, these phenomena penetrate and affect peoples' lives and places in myriad forms. Using ethnographic material, this cross-cultural and cross-regional study examines the impact of social and economic remittances in Guatemalan sending communities. The article reveals the divergent ways—tangible and intangible—in which migra …
When Mothers and Fathers Migrate North
A substantial portion of Guatemala's population-about 10-15 percent of a population of 12 million-emigrates to the United States. Although this northward movement has produced significant social change, few studies have examined it from the perspective of the increasing involvement of household structures in transnational migration processes. Ethnographic research focused on transnational families reveals the social relationships that develop bet…
The Japanese in Latin America, and
Unpacking Longings to Return
Many migration studies emphasize the settlement process and more recently transnational attachments and identities, but less consideration is given to the idea of return. This article focuses on first-generation Guatemalans and Salvadorans in the United States and examines the varying degrees of migrants' desires to return home versus actual return. Specifically, the paper highlights the persistence among these migrants, who live and work in Phoe…
Land, ethnic, and gender change
Crafting connections
International migration constitutes one of the most significant phenomena impacting Guatemala today. About a million and a half Guatemalans live and work in rural and urban cities and towns across the United States and Canada. Like many other migrant groups, most Guatemalans sustain strong transnational linkages between their homeland and el norte (the United States). In the Guatemalan example highlighted in this article, such bonds owe much to t…
Nostalgia por la tierra, nostalgia por el dolar
This paper addresses the ideology of return among contemporary Guatemalan migrants living and working in the southwestern desert city of Phoenix in Arizona. In Phoenix's metropolitan area, Guatemalans (both Ladino and Maya ethnic groups) add to the city's cultural mosaic, and at the same time, are vital agents for change in Guatemalan society. Little is known about the processes and patterns behind Guatemalan migration despite the fact that over …
