| Summary: | This paper explores the careers, with their similitudes and differences, i.e. the visions and versions of Manuel Gamio, Robert Redfield and Paul S. Taylor regarding the incipient, but increasing, migration of Mexican workers to theUnited States during the 1920’s. Although they worked similarly, in the same period, and knew each other’s work, their interpretations about the characteristics, trends, and consequences of Mexican migration on both sides of the frontier were different. Notwithstanding, they established a number of methodological and analitical keys which laid the bases for a debate that could not take place at the time, but whose reinstatement is now possible and necessary due to the current situation of migration.
