| Sumario: | The objective of this research was to better understand and describe young people’s perception regarding international migration. This research project was executed in different locations in the state of Zacatecas, in two municipalities with a high incidence of migration. The research subjects were 483 children attending elementary school. A thematic drawing technique was employed, in which subjects were asked to complete a drawing and tell a story about it. These drawings and stories generated a series of categories, among which were notions of the achievement of the American dream. The children have a clear understanding that undocumented migration is associated with certain dangers, such as drowning while crossing the river. Similarly, drawings are reminiscent of desert-like passages, including components such as lack of water, food, and the danger of venomous animals. Another category derived from the drawings and stories was related to the dangers of the “migra” and how young people describe the mistreatment of undocumented migrants. Additionally, the drawings and stories suggests emotional difficulties such as sadness, abandonment issues, anxiety, and others. |
