“…Indigenous immigrants from Mexico are among the newest immigrants (Rivera-Salgado, 1999), because most come from the newer sending regions of southern Mexico. They include a multiethnic mix of Mixtecs, Zapotecs, Purepechas, Nahuas, Totonocas, Triquis, Mixes, Chinantecos, and others.…”

Multi-ethnic, indigenous Mexican immigrants from Oaxaca, the poorest state in Mexico, have engaged in transnational migration to the United States in increasing numbers since the early 1980s and the economic crisis in Mexico. Indigenous women migrants constitute a significant segment of this population, significant to nursing because of their major role in watching over the health of their families. This article reports selected research findings of an exploratory study of the migration and health experiences of Mexican indigenous women from Oaxaca that focus on their strengths while recognizing their vulnerabilities for health problems. Implications for nursing practice and praxis are identified.

“…Communities' reciprocity norms have a long history that may help them accomplish many development goals. It is no coincidence that Oaxacans have been amongst the most successful groups in creating transnational organisations, and establishing influential activist organisations in the United States, such as the Frente Indigena Oaxaqueño Binacional (Rivera-Salgado, 1999). Furthermore, remittances have been shown to contribute to community reproduction in Oaxaca by the participation of migrant families in the corporate government system (Cohen, 2001).…”

This article investigates the importance of place‐of‐origin communities to an understanding of the impact of migrant remittances on local development, employing the concept of social capital. Two aspects of social capital (each present prior to migration) are shown to be of significance–family relationships and community organisation. Drawing on recent research in two peasant communities in Oaxaca, Mexico, social capital is used to examine the relevance of non‐migrants in shaping the outcomes of migration in communities of origin. Evaluation of migrant remittances and home‐town associations demonstrates the developmental significance of non‐migrants and communities of origin.

First and foremost, I must thank the People of the Land of Rain, the Mixtecs, for their participation in this project. he members of the villages and the transnational communities with whom I worked had a very hard time iguring out what I was doing and I had a hard time iguring out what they were doing, but at the end I think we came to an understanding, or understandings, of each other. Among the many people who contributed to my work, Azucena Hernández Cruz, who worked as interpreter, was absolutely essential to the project. I would like to express my gratitude to the members of the Iglesia de Jesucristo de las Américas, who were a focus of my work over several years. In addition to the Mixtecs, Alberto Hernández-my friend, colleague, and collaborator for many years-deserves special thanks. He helped identify Mixtec non-Catholics in Tijuana, San Quintín, and northern San Diego County. He and I have had many discussions about migration and conversion and their relationships during the many years of our collaborations. His contribution has been invaluable. I would also like to thank the organizations that supported my research over a period of ten years. hese include the Fulbright-Hays Faculty Research Abroad Fellowship Program as well as several diferent granting agencies within the University of California: UC MEXUS, the UCSB Interdisciplinary Humanities Center, and the UCSB Oice of Research. he UCSB Institute for Social, Behavioral and Economic Research, whose directors have shown tremendous patience with me, must also receive a bow. he University of California, Santa Barbara, in general ACKNOWLEDGMENTS xviii has supported me over many years, for which I am much indebted. Finally, the Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social, in Oaxaca, allowed me to ailiate with them during my time in the Mixteca region. I am very grateful for their support. xix
