DIAZ MENDIBURO, Aarón. Los migrantes agrícolas "temporales" en Saint-Rémi, Quebec: representaciones sociales desde la óptica de sus habitantes. Norteamérica [online]. 2014, vol.9, n.2, pp.33-58. ISSN 2448-7228.

Using the theory of social representations proposed by Sergei Moscovici (1979) and ethnographic work, this article explains the representations of "temporary" agricultural workers held by immigrants -mainly Latin Americans- and Quebec-born residents in Saint-Rémi both in urban and rural areas. The author also delves into how those representations -mostly negative- impact the treatment of Mexican and Guatemalan day-workers.

Keywords : "temporary" migration; social representations; inter-cultural relations; Quebec.
