L’articolo sintetizza due decenni di ricerca sulla migrazione messicana a Dalton, una piccola città in Georgia, Usa. L’analisi si focalizza sui risultati del lavoro di campo e li colloca nel contesto dello studio della crescente rilevanza delle destinazioni piccolo-medie per la migrazione messicana e latina negli Stati Uniti. L’articolo presenta innanzitutto l’approccio induttivo, costruzionista e interazionista che è stato usato. Con questi strumento analitici si è studiato il processo sociale dell’immigrazione nelle piccole e medie città come una rete di interazioni fra immigrati e residenti di ungo periodo, come protagonisti e non solo vittime di forza strutturali di ampio respiro. Questo approccio ha permesso di scoprire diverse e inaspettate interazioni, che includono alleanze, cooperazione, fratture, tensioni, conflitti, aggiustamenti, adattamenti e ri-defnizione dei confini fra immigrati e nativi. L’articolo si chiude con una breve analisi della seconda generazione messicana in questo contesto. I risultati di questa ricerca sono un invito ad approfondire lo studio dell’arrivo dei migranti in destinazioni non metropolitani in altri paesi.;
