Abstract Prior to Hurricane Mitch at the end of the 20th century, migration from Honduras to the United States was confined to a few sending and receiving areas linking, for example, the Caribbean coast of Honduras to New Orleans and parts of the interior to California. By contrast, migration to the U.S. mainland from Puerto Rico had a long and complex history prior to Hurricane María in 2017—so pervasive, in fact, that the number of Puerto Ricans living on the U.S. mainland surpassed those living on the islands of Puerto Rico in 2015. Following both Hurricanes Mitch and María, migration became a key method by which people dealt with the disruptions of the storms, facilitated by the Puerto Rican diaspora in the Puerto Rican case and by the extension of Temporary Protective Status to Hondurans in the Honduran case. From these two cases, it is possible to assess and revise stylized facts concerning the relationships between environmental change and human migration that address the roles that migration traditions play in responding to disasters and in the livelihoods of migrants. Such findings can prove useful to multiple individuals and entities attempting to manage responses to human-natural disasters. At the same time, as widely accepted generalizations in the social sciences, stylized facts often enter public consciousness transmogrified into bizarre and inaccurate forms that facilitate visceral social and cultural reactions. In light of livelihood constellations in Puerto Rico and Honduras, this paper considers the intersection of two global phenomena framed as crises in the mass media: increasing human-natural disasters attributed to climate change and global migration.

环境变化和人类迁徙:来自波多黎各和洪都拉斯的典型事实

摘要 在 20 世纪末米奇飓风之前,从洪都拉斯到美国的移民仅限于几个发送和接收地区,例如洪都拉斯的加勒比海岸与新奥尔良以及部分内陆地区与加利福尼亚相连。相比之下,在 2017 年飓风玛丽亚之前,从波多黎各移民到美国大陆的历史悠久而复杂——事实上,生活在美国大陆上的波多黎各人的数量超过了生活在波多黎各岛上的人2015 年。继米奇和玛丽亚飓风之后,移民成为人们应对风暴破坏的关键方法,在波多黎各案例中波多黎各侨民以及将临时保护地位扩展到洪都拉斯的洪都拉斯人促进了这一点案件。从这两个案例来看,有可能评估和修正关于环境变化和人类移徙之间关系的程式化事实,以解决移徙传统在应对灾害和移徙者生计中所起的作用。这些发现可以证明对试图管理对人类自然灾害的反应的多个个人和实体有用。与此同时,作为社会科学中广泛接受的概括,程式化的事实经常进入公众意识,转化为奇异和不准确的形式,促进本能的社会和文化反应。鉴于波多黎各和洪都拉斯的生计星座,本文考虑了大众媒体中被定义为危机的两种全球现象的交集:气候变化和全球移民导致的人类自然灾害增加。
