“…4 Little is known about the outcomes of this northward movement on Guatemalan soil. Most of the work on U.S.-bound Guatemalan migration focuses on the ways in which individuals build new lives in the United States and Canada (e.g., Burns, 1993;Hagan, 1994;Loucky and Moors, 2000;Hamilton and Chinchilla, 2001;Fink, 2003;Nolin, 2004).
