La visión predominante dentro de los estudios migratorios mexicanos para explicar la acción colectiva de los migrantes en Estados Unidos es el transnacionalismo; es decir, el interés y la participación política de la "diáspora" dentro de lo ocurrido en sus lugares de origen. Este trabajo cuestiona dicha noción y la pone en debate a profundidad, proponiendo como alternativa el paradigma de transnacionalismo socio-político. Sin embargo, se enfatiza cómo los migrantes se organizan en primera instancia para mejorar sus condiciones de vida en las sociedades receptoras. Ello no implica indiferencia hacia su país de nacimiento. Significa que la perspectiva transnacional pasa a un segundo plano. Para ello, se muestra la historia de Movimiento por Justicia del Barrio, organización de inmigrantes indocumentados (mayoritariamente mexicanos), en la Ciudad de Nueva York, Estados Unidos, y su lucha por detener el proceso de gentrificación en el barrio East Harlem. También se describen los lazos desarrollados por este grupo con organizaciones en México y se analiza su visión política.... view less

Transnationalism is, within Mexican migration studies, the predominant perspective to explain collective action undertaken by Mexicans in the United States. It takes into account the Mexican "diaspora's" interest and political participation in their hometowns. This article challenges transnationalism’s basic tenet and proposes, instead, the notion of socio-political transnationalism. Nevertheless, the article emphasizes on how migrants fist act collectively to improve their living conditions in the host societies, rather than organizing around their ties with their homeland. This kind of organizing does not imply indifference towards the situation in their country of origin. It does mean, however, that the transnational perspective falls into a second plane. To illustrate, we will depict the history of Movimiento por Justicia del Barrio, an immigrants' organization in the City of New York, principally Mexican based, and their struggle against the gentrifying attempts taking place in East Harlem. We will also look at their political vision and the links they have created with organizations in Mexico.... view less
