Mexican Immigrant Communities in the South and Social Capital: The Case of Dalton, Georgia

During the 1990s, the South became a major new destination for Mexican and other Latino settled immigration. This paper contends that as Mexican immigrants have moved in sizable numbers to atypical destinations, they have also mobilized social capital and funds of knowledge from the historical concentrations of Latino settlement (i.e., Los Angeles and Chicago) to new areas, such as the South. Using qualitative and descriptive quantitative data collected in Dalton, Georgia, a small city located in the southern Appalachia region, this article shows how previously accumulated social capital and funds of knowledge are facilitating settlement with collective and individual level consequences. At the community level, this access to social capital is compressing the timing of the migratory cycle, accelerating incorporation. At the individual level, one significant outcome is the rapid rise of ethnic entrepreneurship, which in turn fosters differentiation within the immigrant community

L’industrie de la migration

Entre le Mexique et les États-Unis, le transport des migrants est devenu une véritable industrie. Des compagnies d’autocars ayant pignon sur rue disputent ce juteux marché à de multiples acteurs informels équipés de camionnettes qui sillonnent les régions frontalières. Suivant qu’ils aient ou non des papiers, les migrants font appel à l’un ou l’autre de ces modes de transport. Monterrey, Houston, Tijuana ou San Diego constituent les plaques tournantes de ce commerce dont l’objet est de vendre aux migrants les conditions de leur mobilité

Peut-on parler d’une diaspora mexicaine aux États-Unis ?

La notion de diaspora peut avoir des fonctions heuristiques dans la mesure où elle conduit les chercheurs à surmonter la division traditionnelle entre les échelles micro, méso et macro du phénomène des migrations internationales contemporaines. Du fait de son caractère multi-dimensionnel, la migration des Mexicains aux États-Unis peut être analysée à partir de cette notion. Pour ce faire, cet article tient compte des positions et découvertes des géographes français et des historiens, démographes et sociologues américains et mexicains. Sur la base de ces analyses, on peut parler d’une diaspora mexicaine pour désigner un ensemble de faits géoculturels de territorialisation, déterritorialisation et reterritorialisation, créés par les migrants d’origine mexicaine aux États-Unis.Diaspora is a notion that could play heuristic functions. At least, if may allow researchers to surmount the traditional division between micro, mesa and macro scales, specitically tor studying contemporary international migrations. Because of ifs important historical, geographical and demographie dimensions, migration from Mexico to the U.S. may be analyzed as a diaspora. Our essay discusses in what sense we could talk about Mexican diaspora. We used different sources : French geographers and American and Mexican historians, demographers and sociologists. With this background, we examine several tacts produced by Mexican migrants in the US considered as a whole, they show us different ways of territorialization, deterritorialization and reterritorialization

Effect of Stocking Rate on Cow Performance and Grain Yields When Grazing Corn Residue

Cattle grazing corn residue at a low stocking rate maintained body condition score (BCS) and gained more weight than cattle stocked at a heavy level. Corn plant part digestibilities ranged from 69% to 31% and amount of leaf, leaf sheath, and husk was about 15 pounds per bushel of grain. Subsequent grain yields show no difference between grazed, baled, or ungrazed treatments. Grazing corn residue provides a good way to maintain BCS on cows through the winter without effecting grain yield

The Influence of the Scout Movement as a Free Time Option on Improving Academic Performance, Self-Esteem and Social Skills in Adolescents

The word scouting refers to the Scout movement, born more than a hundred years ago, which educates millions of young people between the ages of six and twenty-one in their leisure time. We aimed to study the effects of scouting on the academic results, social skills, and self-esteem of high school youths compared to a non-scout sample. The selected sample consisted of 430 secondary students aged between thirteen and seventeen. Self-esteem and social skills were measured, and the average mark of the total sample was analysed. After the study, it was shown that belonging to the scout movement significantly influences the improvement of academic results in formal education and conflict resolution; however, there are no statistically significant differences in self-esteem and other social skills

Online Escape Room during COVID-19: A Qualitative Study of Social Education Degree Students’ Experiences

Confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic has hastened an educational shift from face-to-face to online classrooms. This distanced education seeks to achieve learning goals mediated by technology as they would be achieved in the face-to-face classroom, without ignoring the psychological and social impact that COVID-19 has had on students and teachers. Faced with this situation, the use of online educational escape rooms has been proposed as a motivating strategy for students to review curriculum content in a cooperative and fun way. A qualitative investigation was carried out to explore the perceptions of university students in the Social Education degree program after the implementation of an educational escape room. Our main findings are that most students found that it allowed them to interact with their peers beyond traditional education, that it was useful for their learning and that it was a pleasant activity. However, it was also mentioned that it can be a stressful activity as being an online activity, some students may have connectivity problems. It is concluded that online escape rooms can be active and effective learning strategies for university students
