ALVAREZ DOMINGUEZ, Marco Polo. Migration as state violence. Southern Mexico as stage. URVIO [online]. 2018, n.23, pp.44-56. ISSN 1390-4299.  https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.23.2018.3548.

The present article rises that the illegal migration which journeys by the borders and territories of the south of Mexico, that comes mainly from the Central American North Triangle, also journeys through multiple kinds of violence. We propose a critical analysis to understand these specific kinds of violence from the figure of the State, indicating its responsibility by action, omission and complicity with it. We also present testimonies, obtained in the fieldwork, that show how the migrants, their families and communities experience this violence. Finally, we suggest thinking about political, social and cultural orders that conceive migrating with dignity.

Palabras clave : border; globalization; illegality; migration; State violence.
