Routledge Communities Surviving Migration - Indigenous Mexico

Explore the complex relationship between human movement and environmental management in this academic study. As people move away from their homes, the communities left behind face new challenges in managing local natural resources and maintaining their cultural heritage. This book examines what happens to rural areas when their populations change and how this affects the people who manage the local environment. Based on more than ten years of empirical research conducted in Oaxaca, Mexico, this work looks at how out-migration affects rural communities that are known for their high levels of biocultural diversity. It provides a deep look into the realities of village governance and environmental stability in indigenous regions. For students, researchers, and professionals interested in anthropology, sociology, and environmental migration, this text offers an essential perspective on how displacement and resettlement impact the survival of local cultures and ecosystems.
