Abstract

PRUNIER, Delphine. Listening to the honduran migration, understanding the violence in origin. Andamios [online]. 2022, vol.19, n.48, pp.391-418.  Epub June 30, 2022. ISSN 2594-1917.  https://doi.org/10.29092/uacm.v19i48.910.

The article seeks to analyze the different forms of violence that lead migrants to flee their country. It focuses on understanding the phenomenon of migratory expulsion from a structural perspective that directs attention to power relations, inequalities and socio-spatial fractures. The contribution does not ignore gang-related violence, but is dedicated to make visible the other dimensions of violence that permeate the contemporary reality of migrations. In the first part, I present the conditions for ethnographic research. In the second part, I discuss different theoretical perspectives on the relationship between violence and migration. In the third part, I propose to listen to Honduran migration, giving the floor to the migrants themselves, in order to deepen the understanding of violence at origin in three areas: the intimate/family, the labor/productive, and the citizen/political.

Keywords : Migration; violence; expulsion; Honduras.
