La reconfiguración de la imagen pública del migrante a través de las organizaciones migrantes y las remesas colectivas

Abstract

This article aims to highlight the transformation of the individual and collective image of migrants in Mexico. In order to do this, we first present the economic, social and political impact of remittances in our country. Second, we analyze the current debate about the role of migrants in the development processes of their region of origin. And third, we illustrate the implications of this new "public visibility" that migrants, both individually and collectively, have acquired at the municipal, state and federal government level.
