The methodology was extended fieldwork during two periods: the year 2000 and between 2002 and 2006. The techniques used were primarily semi-structured, in-depth interviews and participant observation. Results point toward a close link between the development of the assembly plant industry and the evolution of migratory flow, in a significant interaction with social networks and family migratory strategies. Conclusions are that a close connection exists between the process of productive relocation and displacement of the labor force toward the assembly plant area in northern Mexico, generating important bonds between local labor markets in the assembly plant zone on the northern Mexican frontier and local labor markets in the south of Veracruz.

An analysis of the traditional approach of anthropology on the risks of fieldwork and the need to adopt more accurate procedures in high risk zones. This paper explores two approaches that have served in anthropology to develop fieldwork in complex scenarios. Likewise, it explains the risk assessment procedures, the elaboration of mitigation measures and their usefulness for anthropological fieldwork.
