Description
Résumé:This article is based on the reconstruction of the naturalization documents issued by Mexican governments over the course of nearly two centuries. This information is used to explore the quantitative dimension of naturalization policy during the first half of the 20th Century. How many foreigners were naturalized and what were their national origins? What was the distribution by sex, marital status, place of residence and occupation? Was the number of naturalized foreigners increased by policies that created exceptions benefitting certain groups of immigrants? Is it possible to find correlations between new migratory flows and the management of naturalization policy? Did changes in immigration policy affect the number of naturalizations? Among others, these questions guide the article's quantitative research into the naturalization of foreigners in decades that saw record naturalization rates despite the powerful nationalism that shaped the most restrictive immigration policies in Mexican history.
