| Popis: | This paper aims to analyze the multiple situationsthat Central American immigrants endure on theirway through Mexico. This analysis is made based onthe experiences of immigrants interviewed in 2011 atFM4 Paso Libre, Casa del Migrante in Guadalajara, Jalisco.We approached this analysis through the methodology oforal history, in which someone’s testimony constitutes thefundamental structure of transition between memory andhistory. Moreover, we found another methodological support in two historical categories proposed by Koselleck:space of experience and horizon of expectation.These categories refers, respectively,to what has been experienced already andto what it is expected to be experienced.This paper focuses on unraveling the motivesthat push people away to migrate and, inthe hardships they find in their way to theNorth through Mexico. This is an exploratoryarticle so it represents a first approachto the bulk of complexities of immigrationas a phenomenon. |
