Los pueblos en movimiento: migración forzada, pueblos indígenas, colombianización, y las siete tesis de Rodolfo Stavenhagen

This article aims to analyze the phenomenon of forced migration from Latin America to the United States and Europe, which has been largely caused by the social situation of violence existing in some critical points of Spanish speaking American Countries.It will address the humanitarian consequences (in terms of human rights) that the phenomenon of forced migration implies, as well as the international political framework that, influenced by problems such as terrorism and drug trafficking, seeks to regulate this phenomenon.This socio-political analysis will be approached from the theoretical perspective of the German sociologist Rodolfo Stavenhagen, who in his “Seven Misleading Theses on Latin America” gives us the theoretical and conceptual tools to address the problem of forced migration in the field of the current societies of the continent.
