Subject: Migration to Mexico


I am currently doing some research for my master's thesis for 
gerontology, and am interested in a current migratory trend of 
"retirement" age singles and couples to locations in Mexico.  I have 
two questions:

1.  Since the research available shows that when large numbers of 
english speaking retirees move into any location in Mexico, they tend 
not to learn the language, and to set up volunteer and support 
systems similar to those in the US, is this colenization?

2. The research I am referring to was reported by Lorena Melton Young 
Otero, a professor and member of the Insittuto de Ciencias Sociales y 
Humanidades at the Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebela.  Does 
anyone know how to contact her?

3.  Does anyone have any suggestions, information, or comments 
regarding this subject?

Thank you in advance for your help.
