It explores the connection between the religious symbol of the Virgin of Guadalupe and the political activism of Mexican migrants. Its political significance is a historically rooted notion that has been adopted by different actors in Mexican history. The article summarizes the history of the political symbolism of the Virgin of Guadalupe and analyzes the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Guadalupe as a space conquered by Mexican migrants.

Therefore, different approaches to the analysis of transnational political spaces and arenas in the context of de- and reterritorialization, the importance of ‘the local’ and national borders are discussed in the first part of the chapter. In the second part of the chapter the historical and contemporary context of transnational political relations between Mexico and the United States is introduced and the respective objectives and fields of action of Mexican migrant cross-border political involvement are shown.

Ihre Anfuhrer/innen setzen sich fur ihre politischen Rechte in den USA und in Mexiko auf vielschichtige Art und Weise ein. Sie sind nicht nur in mexikanischen hometown associations und in Gruppen mexikanischer Parteien, sondern auch in US-amerikanischen zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen, in US-Gewerkschaften sowie in lokalen Regierungsinstanzen Chicagos politisch engagiert. Dieser Beitrag analysiert zunachst, wie die mexikanische Migrantenorganisationen aus Chicago grenzubergreifend zu Demokratisierungsprozessen – im Sinne von Inklusion und Partizipation vorher marginalisierter politischer Akteure – beitragen. Daruber hinaus wird aber auch gefragt, ob und wie das transnationale politische Engagement an die Grenzen eines herkommlichen – auf den Nationalstaat basierenden – Demokratieverstandnis gerat und wie politische Raume im Hinblick auf das zu...

The first part of the chapter delineates how a “culture of migration” has historically developed since the 1940s, how the migrants have maintained bonds with their communities of origin and how they have recently gained transnational political influence at the local level. By means of three case studies, the second part of the chapter shows, how migrant groups influence local decision-making processes in rural Mexico and how they negotiate with agencies of Mexican government authorities. The final part of the chapter relates the empirical findings to the discussion about transnational communities and the creation of new arenas of transnational political negotiation and interaction.

Many of the migrant leaders are committed to the concerns of the Mexican community in Chicago as well as to the support of the communities of origin in Mexico. In the first part of the chapter the profile of four male leaders is presented. In the second part, the less frequent but no less significant engagement of four female leaders is discussed. Using gender analysis, differences between male and female leaders are discussed. In the third part of the chapter the significance of the transnational nature of their political engagement in the context of their life stories is analyzed.

Es vermittelt eine sehr gute Grundlage fur die Anwendung der rekonstruktiven Methoden in Lehre und Forschung, da es den gesamten Forschungsprozess – die Entwicklung der Fragestellung, den Zugang zum Untersuchungsfeld, die Erhebung des empirischen Materials und die Auswertungsmoglichkeiten – begleitet. Die Autorinnen zeigen, wie in qualitativer Forschung empirisches Material durch systematische Vergleiche interpretiert wird und so begrundete Generalisierungen und Theorien entwickelt werden konnen.

The results of the underlying broad ethnographic study in Chicago and the Mexican state of Michoacán contribute to an understanding of transnational political spaces, based on the interplay of cross-border arenas of multifaceted political action. Mexican migrant organizations interact with their home communities, government agencies on both sides of the border and US civic organizations in civic and institutional political arenas. The ethnographic analysis highlights case-specific characteristics of transnational political spaces that are central to a more extensive theoretical understanding of transnationalization processes: "the local" as network of social relationships; the development of agency; political action in and beyond nation-state structures; and the intertwining of multifaceted interaction and communication arenas.
