description | In this study, I examine the way in which deportation inflicts different forms of suffering upon both immigrants themselves and their families. Drawing on a series of open-ended interviews with Mexican immigrants in the United States, as well as children of immigrants, and deportees, I examine not only the subjective condition of immigrants’ deportability status but also how living in a constant state of fear affects every member of the family. In each of the cases, I document the circumstances that contribute to the suffering of immigrants and their families. Finally, although all the stories presented here were forged through pain and anxiety, ultimately, these narratives demonstrate resistance and resilience within the migrant community. |

En este estudio, examino la manera en que la deportación inflige diferentes formas de sufrimiento tanto a los migrantes como a sus familias. A partir de una serie de entrevistas abiertas con migrantes mexicanos, hijos de inmigrantes y deportados, examino no solo la condición subjetiva del estado de deportación de un migrante, sino también intento comprender el persistente miedo que tal condición inflige a cada uno de los miembros de la familia. Por lo tanto, en los casos presentados se intenta documentar las circunstancias que contribuyen a dicho sufrimiento. Por último, aunque todas las historias presentadas en este trabajo reflejan una dosis del dolor y ansiedad de las familias, también retratan, en última instancia, historias de resistencia y resiliencia dentro de la comunidad migrante. 2019-04-26 2022-03-17T18:48:21Z 2022-03-17T18:48:21Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/1014 10.21678/apuntes.84.1014 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/53157 spa eng https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/1014/1159 https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/1014/1161 https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/1014/1180 https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/1014/1181 Derechos de autor 2019 Verónica Montes http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf text/html application/pdf text/html Universidad del Pacífico Apuntes.
