Resumen
ZAMUDIO, Patricia. Lazos cambiantes: comunidad y adherencias sociales de migrantes mexicanos en Chicago. Migr. Inter [online]. 2003, vol.2, n.1, pp.84-106. ISSN 2594-0279.
The formation of migrant communities at their destination is not a linear process. Factors such as the length and size of the migration, the conditions affecting the migrants' incorporation into the new society, the interest in organizing formally, leadership styles, and strategies for maintaining connections all help or impede this process. Looking at the migrant community from Huejuquilla, Jalisco, through the lens of the reproduction, maintenance, and spread of its social cohesiveness helps to clarify the complexity of their transnational lives. This article illustrates how migrants' strategies to maintain social contacts with their fellow citizens and with their place of origin follow more than one path. Factors related to the stage in the migratory experience, both individually and for the community, significantly affect the forms that the community will take at any given moment.
