FOR A PHILOSOPHY OF MIGRATION. MEXICO IN CHICAGO: Diaspora

This book stems from the author's personal experiences of living between Mexico and the United States, exploring how the lives of many immigrants and their descendants have become transnational. Globalization and technology have shortened distances and times between these two countries, leading to significant changes in people's lives. The author seeks to understand the implications of these processes on individuals and societies, challenging traditional views of migration.
Through a human rights lens, the book aims to raise awareness about migration, which is not just a temporary phenomenon but a long-term trend driven by global economic and political factors. It argues that migration is not merely an individual choice but rather a consequence of adverse conditions that force people to seek better lives.
The book examines the role of the state in creating and perpetuating migration, as well as the responsibilities of receiving societies. It also explores concepts such as citizenship, vulnerability, identity, and belonging.
Ultimately, the goal is to foster a more nuanced understanding of migration and to challenge negative stereotypes. By doing so, the book aims to promote a more inclusive and compassionate society.
