Addressing migration from different perspectives was the issue that brings together the work of this edition of the Journal of the Southwest: Revisiting borders: migration, actors and urbanism , Vol 51 No. 4 Winter 2009, which was released last December.

Published by Dr. Gloria Cirino Valdez-Gardea, professor and researcher of the Center for North American Studies at El Colegio de Sonora, the text contains eight papers on various disciplines, among which are: "Migration and Urbanization in Northwest Mexico's Border Cities" Jesus Angel Enriquez Acosta, "Tijuana: Border, Migration, and Gated Communities" Brisa Violeta Carrasco Gallegos, "Imaginary and Migration" Eloy Méndez and Isabel Rodriguez.

The content of the magazine is a product of the first International Migration and Migrant Children organized by THE COLSON and Migrant Children Seminar in May 2007. This number is an attempt to contribute to knowledge of migration from the point of view of the actors involved in it, as women and children, in addition to analyzing the dynamics and practices that are developing in the traditional border areas which have emerged around them as the runner Altar-El Sasabe.
