International migrations and their structural causes

Abstract

“The history of civilizations is the history of human migrations”, according to the Spanish Anthropologist Tomás Calvo Buezas, who contextualizes the phenomenon of today´s international migrations within the worldwide processes of economic globalization, social inequality and demographic imbalance. After reviewing predictions for the future, he centers his analysis on the case of the Latino-Hispanics in the USA, denouncing the evident racism of instruments of law such as the recently promulgated Law SB 1070 in Arizona.
