Abstract
This paper proposes to cinsider the migrant struggles as a new field in sociology that ponders over the collective action. This work is an exercise that focuses on struggles led by migrants with or without legal documents. Thus, this emerging social movement can be deciphered. Also, the main actors, practices and normative or political projects of these struggles, as well as the exact role they play on the map of current dissent, are analyzed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract
This paper debates the traditional notions of political transnationalism used in the United States by showing the formation and the activist process followed by the #YoSoy132 movement in New York City. The conclusion drawn is that immigrants organizations in the US have diversified their acting repertories, political perspective and their demands. Therefore, it is necessary to broaden the concept of political transnationalism to a social-political perspective. The latter will allow having a wider theoretical notion to analyze a larger number of immigrants organizations in the US. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
