FOX, Jonathan  e  GOIS, William. La sociedad civil migrante: diez tesis para el debate. Migr. desarro [online]. 2010, vol.8, n.15, pp.81-128. ISSN 1870-7599.

This essay discusses ten propositions about the nature of migrant civil society and its relationships with states and other social and political actors. The concept of migrant civil society refers to migrant-led organizations and public spaces. The propositions address diverse collective identities, relationships with societies of origin and settlement, forms of organization, advocacy strategies, dynamics of coalition politics and the persistent disconnect between migration and development agendas. The propositions are based on lessons learned from diverse campaigns in defense of immigrant rights, including their human rights, labor rights and their efforts to develop their communities of origin. The discussion draws principally from experiences of organizations of migrants from Latin America and Asia.
