| Sumario: | Ever since the seventies, feminist studies have made multiple contributions to analyzing population mobility processes and have pointed out the androcentric biases prevailing in certain approaches to migration studies. However, it is still usual for research on agricultural labor migrations to hold that these are movements led by men, to presuppose a low participation of women, or to consider them included behind the masculine generic plural. Consequently, the amount of literature analyzing the specificity of rural women’s migration patterns and their labor opportunities is limited. In this context, the present article provides an issue status of women’s movements around agricultural labor in Latin America, focusing on migration flows between Bolivia and Argentina. We analyze pioneer investigations and other more recent ones addressing these issues from the perspective that feminist analytical tools provide to the field of migration studies. As an analysis assumption, we argue that migration movements from rural areas are shaped by job transformations and agricultural production as much as by the changes in social reproduction occurred in our region over the last decades. |
