Migration and Mobilities Across the Americas

HCIAS_Migrations

Migration is one of the most urgent issues describing the complex relations between the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean. This project is interested in historicizing the geo-economic and geopolitical impact of these relations in the present and understanding how they have been determinant in the migratory dynamics across the continent. We also seek to comprehend how those relations explain growing social inequality across the continent and within cities, and how Latin Americans have recreated livelihood strategies, including survival economies and urban and cross-border care infrastructure within the US and beyond. This project emerged out of a joint collaboration between the Heidelberg Center of Ibero-American Studies (HCIAS) and the Heidelberg Center of American Studies (HCA) which aims to establish an area studies focus at Heidelberg University on the Americas.
