This work tries to apply the various meanings of the term frontera (border) (understood as
a boundary, as colonizations front line, and as a symbolic and an ethnic divide) to the life
experiences of Guatemalan refugees in Mexico, which unfolds in two phases: asylum and
integration. An analysis of information gathered from fieldwork during these two processes
lays bare the prominence, in the first phase, of the border as a political boundary,
whereas prevalence of ethnic divisions characterizes the second phase, as the former
refugees and Mexicans who were interviewed revealed. |
