Empresarios salvadoreños en Estados Unidos.<br />

<strong>Lo</strong>s salvadoreños somos, anímicamente, seres en tránsito, y por eso <strong>de</strong> seguro ha sido tan difícil afincar nuestra i<strong>de</strong>ntidad, construir<br />

esquemas <strong>de</strong> vida arraigados en lo propio y gozar los beneficios <strong>de</strong>l sentido <strong>de</strong> permanencia. La periódica convulsión <strong>de</strong> los volcanes<br />

y la inestable condición <strong>de</strong>l sustrato tectónico grafican con puntual elocuencia que vivimos en el filo <strong>de</strong> la inminencia, con todo lo que<br />

eso acarrea <strong>de</strong> inseguridad existencial. Pero hoy, en los albores <strong>de</strong> esta era <strong>de</strong> mundialización emergente y expansiva, la lógica <strong>de</strong> las<br />

migraciones ha cambiado <strong>de</strong> brújula, y los efectos <strong>de</strong> dicho cambio los estamos viendo en el día a día. En el pasado, los emigrantes iban a<br />

<strong>de</strong>saparecer en su lugar <strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>stino; hoy, van a emerger como sujetos <strong>de</strong> <strong>de</strong>stino. Es un giro histórico que nos pone en otro nivel <strong>de</strong> realidad.<br />

Emotionally speaking, Salvadorans are beings in transit, and because of this it has been so difficult to settle our i<strong>de</strong>ntity and build life<br />

schemes rooted on the “own”, in or<strong>de</strong>r to enjoy the benefits of a sentiment of belonging. The periodic convulsion of the volcanoes and the<br />

unstable condition of the un<strong>de</strong>rlying tectonic layer graph with eloquent promptness that we live on the edge of imminence, with all that<br />

this carries in existential insecurity. But today, in the dawn of this era of emerging and expanding globalization, the logic of the migrations<br />

has changed the direction and the effects of such a change we now live in the day to day. In the past the emigrants disappeared in their<br />

place of <strong>de</strong>stination; today they emerge as subjects of <strong>de</strong>stiny. It is a historical turnaround that puts us in a different level of reality.
