Abstract

GRUEL SANDEZ, Victor Manuel. The anti-chilango movement in Baja California, Mexico: The literary, academic, and journalistic look, 1971-1991. Culturales [online]. 2015, vol.3, n.1, pp.77-105. ISSN 2448-539X.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the political and historical implications of writing initiated by journalists, writers and researchers around stereotypes produced by the anti-chilango movement. For this instance, I'll revise the political and historical discourses articulated from literature, journalism and the social sciences. At a general level, this article will reconstruct the meaning that arose with the anti-chilango movement, which definition was an expression of rejection and animadversion to migration from capital cities. For being able to historicize the discourses of writers, journalists and social scientists that had different textual logics, I'll refer to each separately. This article concludes with the decisive moment of the anti-chilango movement: the interference of journalism in the government and electoral issues.

Keywords : anti-chilango movement; regionalism; nativism; stereotypes; political parties.
