“…People often lead multicultural lives, belonging to communities that traverse traditional geographic, ethnic, and linguistic boundaries. For example, upon starting his field work in Oaxaca, Jonathan learned that Oaxacans experienced what Stephen (2007) terms transborder life-speaking Zapotec at home but Spanish to outsiders, crossing the U.S.-Mexico border for business, and maintaining local traditions while living abroad. Indeed, to his surprise, Jonathan was able to converse about his own U.S. background and hometown streets with relative ease after learning that a large contingency of Oaxacans had migrated to a town near where he grew up.…”

“…Es en el contexto de este denso tejido social desarrollado por los migrantes oaxaqueños en California, que se puede explicar la implementación de actividades deportivas como la puesta en marcha de múltiples torneos deportivos. Este tejido social está compuesto por una extensa gama de redes sociales construidas por los migrantes oaxaqueños, y que incluye también sus manifestaciones más formales como lo es el vasto número de asociaciones cívicas, sociales, políticas, culturales y deportivas que van desde las asociaciones basadas en la localidad de origen en Oaxaca, hasta las coaliciones que aglutinan a diversos grupos bajo una agenda común (Fox y Stephen, 2007;Velasco, 2008). Asimismo, dichas agrupaciones son la plataforma que permite el establecimiento de lazos entre miembros de comunidades oaxaqueñas que residen en diversas ciudades y países (Besserer y Kearney, 2006).…”

“…Anthropological scholarship on transnational migration and identity often focuses on the role of nation‐states in shaping experiences and possibilities for inclusion or exclusion for migrants, while the anthropology of hometown associations and immigrant rights struggles emphasize how communities and social movements collectively address neoliberal abandonment and criminalization. This article builds on anthropological and related studies that focus on transnational kin and community networks in shaping the sociopolitical strategies and tactics of transborder youth (Abrego 2014; Heidbrink 2020; Nicolas 2021; Stephen 2007; Yarris 2017). Attending to visual culture and aesthetics can reveal the creative, material, and symbolic ways that transborder community members enact and make visible a politics of belonging and being that de‐centers the nation‐state and avoids the pressures of articulating straightforward counter‐narratives often imposed on social movements.…”
