El artículo presenta una evaluación crítica de la producción académica que aborda la migración de retorno de Estados Unidos a México de 2008 a 2015. Los hallazgos muestran que la investigación se limita a estudiar el retorno de hombres adultos y su inserción en mercados laborales, así como el impacto económico y demográfico regional. Son casi inexistentes los trabajos sobre trayectorias, integración y experiencia migratoria de niños, jóvenes y mujeres, así como aquellos que toman en consideración las dinámicas familiares asociadas al retorno. Prevalecen las investigaciones deductivas de corte cuantitativo, a diferencia de las que abordan dimensiones cualitativas del fenómeno. The article presents a critical evaluation of the academic production on return migration from the United States to Mexico from 2008 to 2015. Our findings reveal that current research has been limited to studying the return of adult men and their insertion into labor markets, as well as the economic and demographic impacts of return. Analyses of migratory trajectories, integration, and experience of children, women and youth, and other studies with a focus on family dynamics are rare or virtually inexistent. Deductive and quantitative investigations still prevail, compared to those that prioritize the qualitative dimensions of the phenomenon.
Este artículo propone el uso del concepto “itinerario subjetivo” para analizar los elementos que componen el proceso migratorio de retorno de los jóvenes mexicanos de la generación 1.5. Con base en la descripción y el análisis de la narrativa de un joven que pertenece a esta generación de migrantes que retornó a México, se discutirán las características de esta movilidad de regreso y el proceso de resocialización, así como la forma en que los jóvenes retornados interpretan sus historias migratorias, narran sus emociones y su sentido de pertenencia, y construyen las expectativas de su futuro. This article proposes the use of the concept “subjective itinerary” as an analytical tool to examine the elements that constitute the return migration process of Mexican youth who belong to the 1.5 generation. Drawing from the description and analysis of the narrative of a young 1.5 man who returned to Mexico, the characteristics of return mobility and socialization process will be discussed, as well as the ways in which young returnees interpret their own migration stories, narrate their emotions and sense of belonging, and build expectations for their future.
