MARTINEZ CANALES, Luis Alejandro. Community Dynamics as seen from Migration in the Nahua Sierra of Zongolica, Veracruz: Analysis and Study Perspectives. Migr. Inter [online]. 2010, vol.5, n.4, pp.7-37. ISSN 2594-0279.

International migration is beginning to link Sierra de Zongolica in Veracruz to new experiences. For the moment, reflection on the changes caused by leaving for the north is not a priority issue in Nahua communities in the area, given the urgent necessity to meet basic needs. This article provides a contextual overview enabling one to deal with the various facets of migration from Zongolica (rural-rural, rural-urban and international) as well as a description of the trends in its municipalities and communities on the basis of its inhabitants' experience in the United States.
