Abstract

AQUINO MORESCHI, Alejandra. De la milpa al field: la experiencia migratoria de jóvenes zapatistas en los campos de cultivo californianos. LiminaR [online]. 2012, vol.10, n.1, pp.15-32. ISSN 2007-8900.

In the following article I analyze the migratory experience of a group of young zapatists who have turned into agricultural day laborers in the California valley. Who, once incorporated into this labor niche, turn into a captive labor force which through different mechanisms is prevented from its geographical, professional and social mobility. The control of their mobility and the impossibility of collective action in the camps, the young zapatists opt for the "flight" towards other regions and other labor markets.

Keywords : International migration; agriculture; young people; zapatismo; capitalism.
