Travelers and migrants from Mexico’s south border. Youngsters looking for a place to
change. On the following text, travelers and migrant’s paths in south Mexico are analyzed,
particularly, paths of youngsters who are imprisoned in the Mexican state of Chiapas, the
emphasis is not on the reason of their imprisonment neither in the aforementioned, instead
is in the observation of the contexts of a familiar life marked by migratory experiences
and the individual search of a change. The articled is divided in three segments, the rst
characterizes the Mexican south border while articulates the discussion of border and
migration. The second segment shows the youngsters path from Chiapas and Central

in the United States of America as a nodal part in the representations of the world that
these families create.
Keywords: South border, Mexico- Central America, migrant youngsters, imprisonment.
