Inhaltsangabe

Analyzing how Mexican immigrants to the United States use migration as a survival and income-generating strategy, Sarmiento (anthropology and Chicano/Latino studies, U. of California at Irvine) focuses on Tzintzuntze±o families on both sides of the border. She looks at characteristics of employment and reproduction before and after migration and discusses the social mechanisms between communities sending and receiving family income. She emphasizes the role of women in the migratory experience, illustrating the changing nature of employment and the active role women play in families' economic strategies. Annotation c.
