TERRITORY AS AN ANALYTICAL TOOL FOR MIGRATION AND POVERTY. A PROPOSAL IN THE SIERRA GORDA OF GUANAJUATO, MEXICO

Abstract

This paper proposes a reflection towards the territorial scope as an analysis tool that allows, for the migration studies, to address the particularities of the places of origin of migrants to understand why mobility processes appear, as well as the repercussions that these entail. For this reason, the case of the Sierra Gorda of Guanajuato, a region with high levels of marginalization and contrasts of migration, is presented, which makes it possible to question the relationship between poverty and migration.
