Los migrantes agrícolas “temporales” en Saint-Rémi, Quebec: representaciones sociales desde la óptica de sus habitantes

Using the theory of social representations proposed by Sergei Moscovici (1979) and ethnographic work, this article explains the representations of “temporary” agricultural workers held by immigrants -mainly Latin Americans- and Quebec-born residents in Saint-Rémi both in urban and rural areas. The author also delves into how those representations -mostly negative- impact the treatment of Mexican and Guatemalan day-workers.
