Abstract
ALBICKER, Sandra Luz and VELASCO, Laura. Deportation and Stigma on the Mexico-U.S. Border: Trapped in Tijuana. Norteamérica [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.1, pp.99-129. ISSN 2448-7228. https://doi.org/10.20999/nam.2016.a004.
Deportations from the interior of the United States have transformed the image of success associated with migrants. This article uses a survey, in-depth interviews, and newspaper and magazine documentation from 2013 and 2014 to analyze the stigma linked to a certain kind of deportee: those living on the streets in Tijuana. For them, the border is a liminal territory where the precariousness associated with poverty, violence, and transnational mobility is sharpened by the day-to-day discourses and practices of criminalization and discrimination.
Keywords : deportation; stigma; street life; border; identities.
