The objective of the article is to offer a systematized review of the studies carried out on the social production of the southern border. In particular, it is emphasized in the inquiries on the Chiapas-Guatemala section, published since the 1990s. The bibliography presented has in common the inclusion of aspects that allow us to understand the social dynamics in the border territories, beyond the perspective of migratory flows. The need to deepen studies that allow understanding the life of the permanent inhabitants of the southern border is concluded.
