Abstract

In this article it is pretended, based on gender relations, to
contribute to the study of the transformations of two emergent
phenomena of the new century ruralities: migration and
reorganization of land tenure systems. Gender implications that
arose in two localities of the state of Tlaxcala that have different
organizational conventions regarding land tenure are remarked:
ejidal and small-scale systems. Gender is taken as an axis for
transversal research, orientation that allowed a two level analysis:
structural and social actor practices. Since the middle of the
nineties, international migration is an important income source
and a survival alternative for the residents of two rural villages
of the state of Tlaxcala. In the small-scale property this
phenomenon occurred later than in the cooperative one; the
incorporation of woman in these processes has been slower. In
both populations and even though migrant experiences point out
harmful experiences, these illegal movements are gaining speed
instead of restraining and they are increasingly involving other
actors of the rural environment.
