Description
Summary:Mexico is the scene of at least 40,000 deaths and an estimated 120,000 enforced disappearances of migrants in transit. In this context of violence my analysis asks the question: What forms of collective action are particular to migrant organizations that develop in such areas of transit migration? I reflect upon forms of collective action, the repertoire of demands, normative ideals, strategic alliances, and mobilization cycles that the activists of the Movimiento Migrante Mesoamericano have employed. As a paper that combines the sociology of migration with the sociology of social movements, this paper frames the case study within a disciplinary understanding of the sociology of immigrant protest and struggle.
