Abstract

In this article, system theory or a systemic approach is used in
order to explain interrelations in the complex and multi-factorial
migratory process that hundreds of people from Tlaxcala go
through every year, especially during the season when Canada
requires labor for its agricultural work, which spans from
greenhouse preparation to harvesting and packing fruits and
vegetables; migration is legal under the implementation of the
Seasonal Agricultural Workers Program México – Canada
(PTAT, for its initials in Spanish), which is managed in México
by the Ministry of Labor and Social Prevision, in each of the
participating entities in the country. This is a historical process
which, due to its complexity, requires a holistic approach in
order to tackle not only the economic, demographic or cultural
aspects of the process, but also the political, environmental and
even the visible and invisible of subjective aspects that the process
and actors involved present: domestic violence, psychological
disorders, and emotional, moral and even existential crises. Thus,
a new perspective is used for the analysis of the migratory process
from the state of Tlaxcala.
