Reflection on transnational and transcultural migration in the State of Mexico from the perspective of peace and conflict

Abstract

The complexity of social phenomena such as migration, poverty, violence, dispossession, conflicts, among others, is part of the repertoire that constitute the peculiarities of the globalized society of the 21st century. This scenario constitutes a benchmark for analysis of the problems that directly affect the subaltern and oppressed groups of our time. Therefore, the need to advance in this logic oriented to the critical reflection of phenomena such as transnational and transcultural migration implies a challenge in the scope of conceptualizing this topic from the studies of peace and conflicts in their respective contexts and sociopolitical dynamics of Our America. Thus, the purpose of the following article is to expose the theoretical, conceptual and methodological relationship that exists between migration, peace and conflict reflected in the transnational and transcultural context presented by the migratory experience of the population of the State of Mexico. One of the most relevant contributions found in this research is the wide relationship between the critical perspective of conceiving migration as a phenomenon that articulates conflict, violence and peace, and the emergence of studies in this field of social research.
