Resumen
IGLESIAS LESAGA, Esther. Las nuevas migraciones yucatanenses: Territorios y remesas. Migr. desarro [online]. 2011, vol.9, n.17, pp.69-90. ISSN 1870-7599.
Although international migration is a relatively recent phenomenon in the State of Yucatan, during the last decade the region has received important amounts of remittances. While these remittances have grown significantly and have served to mitigate poverty, it is evident that they cannot be considered the bases of a development model. They cover the needs for survival, and only in some cases it is possible to speak of an increase in the quality of life, manifest in the accumulation of salaries. Actual documentation for the analysis of relevant indicators is still incipient. Nevertheless, the historical fieldwork presented here -which analyzes how the internal migration process sparked by Cancun's resort development has influenced migrant experience -, combined with a review of the conditions in labour-expelling areas (especially the henequen producing region), serve to shed light on this situation.
