Project: "Forced displacement in the Sierra Tarahumara, slowed lives, aspirations and violence"   

---

One of the effects of violence in Mexico has been the forced displacement of entire communities in different regions across the country. One of the affected areas is the Sierra Tarahumara, which is characterized by the planting and trafficking of drugs, various extractive projects, as well as the presence of local caciques and organized crime groups. People flee these violent contexts abruptly and precipitously, and then settle in other cities waiting to be able to return to their places of origin, so how does this forced waiting modify their future expectations and aspirations? The objective of this proposal is to investigate how people displaced by violence in the Sierra Tarahumara after at least five years of waiting have experienced this uncertainty of being stranded, and how their settlement aspirations have changed over time. The importance of this research lies in the problematization of how time modifies expectations in the case of forced migration related to violence and organized crime. With the findings of this research I will contribute to the generation of specific knowledge on the relationship between time, violence and mobility.
