Synopsis

En los albores del siglo XXI visto la salida masiva de colombianos ha alcanzado cifras histricas, la mayora han salido en busca de contextos econmicos menos adversos o huyendo de la persecucin e incertidumbre polticas. Hoy por hoy cerca de 5 millones de colombianos viven en miles de localidades enclavadas en docenas de pases. Hasta hace relativamente poco los destinos principales eran Venezuela y Estado Unidos, sin embargo Londres se ha erigido en un importante destino. Este libro busca contribuir a un mejor entendimiento del proceso migratorio desde una perspectiva global, asimismo intenta matizar las aproximaciones dominantes sobre el proceso migratorio global contemporneo del sur hacia el norte, enfatizando la importancia de los flujos procedentes de Latinoamrica, hasta ahora limitados a la migracin hacia los Estados Unidos. / In the dawn of the twenty first century the exodus of Colombians has reached historic numbers, most of them have left in search of better economic opportunities, others fleeing from political persecution. Today, more than five million Colombians live in thousands of communities in dozens of different countries. Until recently Venezuela and the United States were the main destinations, but London has become a new and important destination. This book seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the migration process from a global perspective. At the same time it tries to harmonize the dominant approach on the global migration process from the south to the north, stressing the importance of the migrants coming from Latin America, until today limited to the migration to the United States.
