Migrant Agency in the Experience of Social and Work Reintegration of Mexicans Deported from the United States to Tijuana. Rev. pueblos front. digit. [online]. 2022, vol.17, e621.  Epub Apr 17, 2023.

This paper highlights the process of agency in the experience of social and labor reintegration of Mexicans deported from the United States. Throughout the analysis of seven digital narratives included in an archive entitled Humanizing Deportation, this paper presents an approach to the perceptions about the experience of men and women who were deported from the United States and are now in Tijuana. The analysis of their narratives provides these people with visibility as active subjects with projects of their own, i.e., with the capacity to integrate into the social context they find themselves in after deportation. In addition, this analysis makes it possible to identify different social stakeholders that exercise solidarity, facilitating the migrants’ integration into the labor market and their agency in contexts of difficulty and suffering.

Keywords : deportation; agency; solidarity; reintegration; testimonies; digital narratives.
