Resumen
CRUZ SALAZAR, Tania. From Chiapas to California: Indigenous Youth's Migratory Experience and Cultural Change. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.22, pp.1-21. ISSN 1870-4115. https://doi.org/10.22201/cimsur.18704115e.2016.22.267.
This article uses an ethnographic perspective to document the international migratory experience of indigenous youth from Chiapas State and their cultural adaptation. It posits that indigenous youth participation has been of key importance to the state's economic development. This phenomenon has its origin in traditional internal (nineteenth century) and national (twentieth century) indigenous migration by grandparents or parents. For current generations, although international migration continues to be an economic strategy, it is no longer temporary as before, which is why their stay in the United States now implies subjective, community and cultural changes. What changes and what remains the same are thus analyzed within this context.
