| description | At the end of the XX century, some experts on social phenomena at the north border of Mexico, argued that from the mid1980s, women’s national and international migration towards cities in the north, Tijuana in particular, registered important changes. During the XXI century, women do not mobilize exclusively as men’s companions, but decide to migrate in order to improve their living conditions. They enter the work force which marks one of the most important characterisitcs in the defining of the dynamics of the border families (Valenzuela, 1998). In 2010, the United Nations most recent studies showed that the weight of women in international migration reached 49.1 per cent of the total, and then decreased to 48 per cent in 2013.[1] The aim of this article is to tackle the dynamics, structures and compositions of families as a unit of analysis of the ways in which the living conditions of migrants influence the process of formation of feminine identities at the Mexico-United States border, the Tijuana-San Diego border in particular. In order to accomplish this aim, the origin of the families is discussed, its characteristic of transborder families, the family structure and composition, the intrafamily dynamic derived from the sexual división of work and, lastly, the discourses about gender present inside the families.

El objetivo del presente artículo es abordar las dinámicas, estructuras y composiciones de las familias, como unidad de análisis de las formas en que las condiciones de vida de los migrantes influyen en el proceso de formación de identidades femeninas en la frontera México-Estados Unidos, en particular la frontera Tijuana-San Diego. Para efectos de lograr el objetivo se contempla el origen de las familias, su carácter de familias transfronterizas, la estructura y composición familiar, la dinámica intrafamiliar derivada de la división sexual del trabajo y, por último, los discursos de género presentes al interior de las familias. 2017-05-18 2022-03-22T16:19:29Z 2022-03-22T16:19:29Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares ciegos https://huellasdelamigracion.uaemex.mx/article/view/4425 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/83983 spa https://huellasdelamigracion.uaemex.mx/article/view/4425/2951 Derechos de autor 2016 Huellas de la Migración http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0 application/pdf Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México Huellas de la Migración; Vol. 1 Núm. 2 (2016): Huellas de la Migración; 175-226 Huellas de la Migración; Vol. 1 Núm. 2 (2016): Huellas de la Migración; 175-226 2594-2832 2448-7155 |
