| 英文摘要 | During the four final decades of the last century, demographic growth in Mexico slowed significantly. This trend continued during the first decade of the 21st century, in tune with current expectations in the country. However, during precisely the same decades, the opposite phenomenon has been occurring in the country's coastal territories, i. e. demographic growth resulting not from an increase in average birth rates, which have followed more or less the same trends as among the rest of the country's inhabitants, but from immigration into these areas. This phenomenon is of itself reliable proof of the growth in investment of both public and private capital in coastal territories. The only exception to this trend is provided by three coastal municipalities in the state of Sinaloa, created in the early 1990s and taken over, literally, by drug-trafficking activities. The vast majority of these new inhabitants of the Mexican coastlines are people who have arrived from inland in search of jobs, in the hope of improving their lives. For the new << costenos >>, life in these latitudes is completely different to that which they had experienced in their previous homes, whether in the plateau or the central plain, the deserts of the north, the limestone country of the interior of the Yucatan peninsula or the tortuous hillsides of the mountains: new rhythms and ways of working, different local eating habits and modes of dress, unknown climatic phenomena and their consequences for daily life, strange idiomatic expressions, and finally the exotic affection of the native << costeos >> for their countryside and their local flora and fauna. To analyse the case study, we propose the concept of the << coastal region >>. We use demographic information both at national level and from the coastal states and municipalities, taken from national censuses of population and housing done in the decades from 1950 to 2010, published by the Instituto Nacional de Estadisticas, Geografia e Informatica (National Institute of Statistics, Geography and IT,INEGI), as well as photographs from various archives and from the author's collection. It is not appropriate to talk of an << experimental design >> in this work, since it is not an << experiment >> but an attempt to explain what has been happening among the inhabitants of the Mexican coasts on the basis of the developing situation over some 50 years of constant colonisation. |
