Abstract
ZAMORANO VILLARREAL, Claudia Carolina. Ser inmigrante en Ciudad Juárez: Itinerarios residenciales en tiempos de la maquila. Frontera norte [online]. 2006, vol.18, n.35, pp.29-53. ISSN 2594-0260.
By means of the analysis of the residential and professional practices of immigrant families over Ciudad] uarez, this essay tries to show that inside the well-known abstract categories such as "popular urban residents" and "female maquila labor" exists a wide range of populational profiles that is necessary to clarify. For this reason, the work hypothesis is based on a flexible correlation of the following variables: a) labor situation, b) migratory status, and c) the real estate and labor market exact situation. It is considered that the entrance moment on the labor and real estate markets (which speaks to us of the socio-economic and political context in which a cycle of urban integration begins), as well as the migratory situation of the head of the family, both define their labor and residential itineraries at the same time.
Keywords : housing; maquila workers; immigration; urban itineraries; Ciudad Juarez.
