Intercultural adaptation in returned migrants: A study in Zacatecas, Mexico

Due to the consequences and possible everyday life implications, such as a job search, social and cultural relationships and economic problems (Centro Internacional de Derechos Humanos de los Migrantes [CIDEHUM], 2011), migration has become a complex phenomenon (Serafi, 2006).

Given these implications, migrants attempt to fully integrate to the dominant culture while still keeping their cultural identity (Casasa, 2008). To do so migrants seek people belonging to their city of origin, thus creating a transnational community (Sassone, 2007). The current manuscript used qualitative methods to identify the main problems arising from intercultural adaptations in returned Mexican migrants. Learning and experiences in their social environment were also explored. Five migrants who returned from the United States to their hometown (Fresnillo, Zacatecas, Mexico), were interviewed. Results demonstrate that the main problems faced related to cultural adaptation were language barriers, lack of citizenship paperwork and workplace exploitative practices. La migración es un fenómeno complejo, debido a todas las implicaciones y consecuencias que trae consigo (Serafi y Gimeno 2006), las cuales giran en torno a distintos ámbitos, como pueden ser la búsqueda de empleo, las relaciones sociales, culturales y problemas económicos, entre otros (Centro Internacional de Derechos Humanos de los Migrantes [CIDEHUM], 2011). Por estas razones, los migrantes intentan integrarse de lleno a la cultura dominante, pero conservando su identidad de origen (Casasa, 2008). Lo que los encamina a buscar personas que pertenezcan a su ciudad de procedencia, para lograr mantener su identidad cultural y crear una comunidad trasnacional (Sassone, 2007). Considerando lo anterior, se decidió realizar una investigación que permitiera identificar las principales problemáticas de adaptación intercultural a las que se enfrenta un migrante, así como también los aprendizajes y experiencias adquiridas en ese mismo entorno social. A través de entrevistas a profundidad a cinco migrantes retornados de Estados Unidos al municipio de Fresnillo, Zacatecas, se encontraron como principales dificultades de adaptación el idioma, el hecho de no contar con documentos legales y someterse a una dura explotación laboral.
