| dc.description | Flows of people have been one of the most powerful forces in the transformation of places, spaces, and culture. Observation of the history of local contexts reveals how relevant the presence of migrants has been. Beginning in Africa, throughout human history, we find people moving around the world, shaping lands and cultures (Leed 1991). Generally, these movements have been described in a way that emphasizes the subordination of peoples to heteronomic economic and political powers. Migration is a word that in the current imaginary is usually associated with dictatorships, cataclysms, wars, or unemployment. Anthropological studies have also followed this perspective. The main studies on migrations have been produced within conceptual frameworks that focus on structural violence (Farmer 1996), forced migrations and displacement (Agier 2002; Malkki 1995), or national order (Sassen 1996). This focus has been clearly influenced by a methodological nationalism (Wimmer, Glick Schiller 2003; Lins Ribeiro 2013). The majority of these studies have been produced in North America and Europe. Given the experience of immigrants from nonWestern countries, anthropologists have emphasized the often-dramatic difficulties of migration processes, as well as nationalistic policies against migrants. Adopting a politically engaged point of view, many scholars have produced a critical discourse about migration and, more importantly, about nationalism. | - |
