Publisher's Synopsis
Three years ago the National Autonomous University of Mexico through the Dr. Gustavo Baz Prada Chair awarded me a grant to undertake research on migrants in the municipality of Xilitla, a magical town in the Huasteca zone of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. At that time, I had conducted a review of the state of knowledge of migration in Central America, Mexico and the United States. The literature broadly mentioned that the migration phenomenon involved the adaptation of migrant flows in central areas due to their economy, but there were also indications that migrants assimilated the culture that received them, although the most critical works warned of a multicultural identity that the descendants of migrants selected no longer to adjust to the imponderables, but to transform and innovate their environment.
