MORELLO CALAFELL, Núria. Social Remittances and Local Differentiation in Labor Migration between Colombia and Catalonia (Spain). An Ethnographic Example from an Andean Town. Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2017, vol.53, n.2, pp.27-61. ISSN 0486-6525.

This article analyzes a labor migration and codevelopment program implemented in Colombia by Catalan businesses as an attempt of migratory institutionalization. This program was the subject of ethnographic research conducted between 2012 and 2013 in Colombia and several communities of the European agricultural sector where the labour force was mobilized. The text analyzes migration as a resource for geographical and social mobility, and its social and political meaning in societies, localities, and domestic groups that remain active in the country of origin.

Keywords : circular migration; codevelopment; social remittances; local differentiation.
