Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
In this study we approach different experiences, ways of life, and ways to comprehend, explain, and address the phenomenon of migration from the reflections of children in three communities in the municipalities of Salvatierra and Salamanca, located in the State of Guanajuato, Mexico. We study psychosocial, socioâ€cultural, economic, family, and symbolic aspects, which are present in children’s perceptions of migration and its effects on childhood. The above, especially in regions with a long tradition of migration (Mexicoâ€United States), such as the communities that this study discusses. We discuss the skills and emotional resources (such as resilience, coping, and adaptation capacity) that develops during childhood in the face of long absences of migrant relatives, we also discuss the negative perceptions negative impact that migration has assumed. This study, based on the reflections of boys and girls in Guanajuato, Mexico, point out that in such a complex phenomenon that is migration, there are different ways to understand and cope with this situation, even communities within the same state have presented both similar and dissimilar characteristics, and meanwhile, force us to think about the cultural and social diversity of childhood. We cannot make generalizations, rather we must consider particular social, family, and community conditions and realities that correspond to the plurality and diversity of experiences of children in communities in the state of Guanajuato.
