Summary/Abstract: La migración internacional no es nueva, pues ha ocurrido desde hace milenios; su análisis académico tampoco es reciente y sin embargo, las reflexiones actuales en torno a ésta siguen siendo relevantes. Lo que dota de importancia y actualidad a la movilidad humana, no son únicamente los nuevos escenarios bajo los que las personas migran, sino también las miradas refinadas de investigadores que comparten sus hallazgos de manera original, aplicando nuevas metodologías a nuevos sujetos de estudio, y cuyas investigaciones despiertan nuevas reflexiones en los lectores. A partir de un abordaje novedoso, los autores de este volumen nos muestran actores, relaciones, espacios, colectividades y problemáticas que no se habían detectado antes o bien, que dadas las circunstancias recientes, necesitan repensarse.

- Summary/Abstract:Existing theories about the concept of identity associate the redefinition of the identity of migrants with the awareness of the social status they possess in their new environment. The formation of social status contributes to anti-immigration feelings that widen the gap between locals and refugees. In light of these premises, this study aims to deepen the issue of identity development in the migratory field, focusing on the case of refugees. In order to do so, ethnographic work has been carried out in the Italian context, conducting twenty-eight interviews with adult refugees in the Salento area in southern Italy. The results of this research refer to the social status of refugees in Italy, as well as the provisional nature of their identities. The temporality of identities lies both in the condition of the refugee itself and in the effects of anti-immigration policies.

- Keywords:Migration Policies; Orderly Migration; Security; Capacity building; Migration Control; IOM;
- Summary/Abstract:The idea of orderly migration – introduced in 1953 by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) – has recently gained further exposure as a result of the 2018 Global Compact for Migration. The aim of this chapter is to review how the IOM has implemented two mechanisms, used to convey orderly migration: technical cooperation for migration and capacity-building, especially in the sectors of migration and border control. Through the analysis of IOM institutional material, the work tracks national cases that, since the early 2000s, have been taken into consideration for both the dissemination and implementation of related policy guidelines related to these mechanisms. The investigation shows that IOM is committed to establishing a nexus between migration and security. This is pursued through the promotion of policies and technology systems for migration controls, with a special focus on Southern Hemisphere countries.

- Keywords:Afro-descendant women; intersectionality; multiscalarity; im/mobility; migrant-agent; experience; trajectories; regulatory technologies; internal migration; urban spaces;
- Summary/Abstract:Drawing from a geographical-political intersectional approach, this work addresses the multiple trajectories of mobility lived by Afro-descendant women of the Colombian Pacific region. Based upon a trialectic – social, temporal, and spatial – conception of power relations, it questions the theoretical and analytical implications of many of the migration and forced migration studies regarding the migrant agency, the spatialities of movement, and the multidimensionality of internal migration. Without overlooking the relational character of force contexts, agency and regulatory technologies of movement, it provides a methodological framework by which we can analyze the narrativization of situated experiences. By doing so, it precedes the importance of the mobile subject-agent, the multiscalarity of action and the political character of mobility itself.

- Language:Spanish
- Subject(s):Labor relations, Migration Studies
- Page Range:65-80
- No. of Pages:16
- Keywords:Positive selection; South-south migration; Mexico; Central-America;
- Summary/Abstract:Drawing on data taken from the 2015 Intercensal Survey, this paper analyzes the characteristics of the labor insertion of workers from the Northern Triangle of Central America in Mexico and presents evidence that the salaries and benefits received by these workers are higher than those of Mexican workers, in groups of immigrants and certain sectors, controlled by observable characteristics. Estimates of the decomposition exercises of the Blinder-Oaxaca type indicate that, in some cases, the unexplained part of the differential is determinant of the labor results in favor of migrants, which is considered early evidence of the favorable treatment they receive in Mexico. The results suggest that there is a demand for these workers by the Mexican productive sector and that, Central American migrants in Mexico are also positively selected from their counterparts in their countries of origin.

Protección consular mexicana en Estados Unidos: análisis conceptual
Protección consular mexicana en Estados Unidos: análisis conceptual

- Page Range:81-99
- No. of Pages:19
- Keywords:Consular protection; Mexican consulates; Mexicans immigrants; the United States; consular diplomacy;
- Summary/Abstract:During the 1990s, some countries of destination started strengthening their relations with their diasporas. In an effort to tighten the bond with its own expat community, the Mexican government reshaped the functions of its consular network in the United States, where 97% of Mexican migrants live. This chapter analyses the concepts of consular protection, assistance and attention. As a result of this analysis, the chapter proposes a new definition of consular protection, as well as, a new way to classify consular actions. Finally, this study suggests that consular protection is a continuum which encompasses all kinds of consular actions under three categories: preventive protection, reactive protection, and capacity-building protection.

- Language:Spanish
- Subject(s):Migration Studies, Asylum, Refugees, Migration as Policy-fields
- Page Range:103-118
- No. of Pages:16
- Keywords:Sahrawi refugees; Vacaciones en Paz; humanitarian aid; cooperation and solidarity;
- Summary/Abstract:Amid a process of decolonization and national construction, 160,000 Sahrawis have lived in refugee camps (Tinduf, Algeria), since 1975. Although existing in “the margins of the world” (Agier, 2008), the camps are centers of transnational movements and relations. Vacaciones en Paz is a solidarity program through which thousands of Sahrawi children spend the summer with Spanish families. Organized by the Youth Union of Saguía el Hamra and Río de Oro (UJSARIO) and the Amigos del Pueblo Saharaui associations, its main objective is to allow children to have access to specialized medical care, a varied food diet, and to leave the high temperatures of the refugee camps. In addition, it also promotes and strengthens the Sahrawi cause, through the relationships created between families and their children. This chapter explores the Vacaciones en Paz as an example of the multiple dynamics involved between political activism and humanitarian aid.

- Keywords:Immigration; Education; PhD dissertations; Education Anthropology; Migration Studies;
- Summary/Abstract:There is extensive scientific production in the field of Migration Studies within the Spanish context. Nevertheless, there are yet few review proposals of such production in the various disciplines. This work aims at contributing to fill this gap, by reviewing the PhD dissertations in Migration Studies in the area of Education Anthropology that have been discussed in Spanish Universities. To do so, we have used the material available in the repository of PhD dissertations in migrations housed at the Institute for Migration Research of the University of Granada (Spain). In our review, two types of data have been used as the object of analysis. The first type is more quantitative, referring to the number and evolution of the dissertations, as well as, the institutions to which they refer. The second type is more qualitative, referring to the contexts and subjects of study, and to the object of study or topic that they addressed.

- No. of Pages:17
- Keywords:Urban border; solidarity; migration; activism; intersectionality; anticolonialism; neighbourhood movements; subaltern political action; whiteness;
- Summary/Abstract:In a context in which the city of Madrid has become a border space – with police raids, deportations and harassments as patterns of the everyday landscapes of public spaces in the city – several grassroots organizations have emerged disrupting these geographies and turning the city into a space of border struggle (De Genova, Mezzadra and Pickles, 2015). This chapter maps the multiple trajectories of resistance that operate re-negotiating borders from a daily basis in Madrid. These draw from diverse neighbor solidarity movements to particular forms of migrant subaltern political agency. Engaging with these, the chapter addresses questions of subalternity, migration and political action (Featherstone, 2008, 2012). On the one hand, this study portrays the border as a dynamic and contested space, where migrants and neighbors negotiate the power relations at stake in the processes of bordering and the practices of racist police violence (Mezzadra and Neilson, 2013; Papadopulos and Tsiannos, 2013). On the other hand, it explores how migrant activism is questioning the social borders that operate within urban spaces and urban political movements challenging white privilege and colonialism and opening new debates that are reshaping migrant solidarity movements.
