Abstract
ZAPATA MARTINEZ, Adriana. Parents in Transnational Contexts: Care from the Gender and Family. Desacatos [online]. 2016, n.52, pp.14-31. ISSN 2448-5144.
The purpose of this paper is to generate some reflections about the care as a family practice that traditionally has been assigned to women -mothers, grandmothers, aunts, wives-, where gender structures and relationship have been influenced significantly by generating binarisms that put women/mother in the reproductive/private field and man/father in the production/public sphere, causing inequalities that permeate family and social life as well as local and transnational space. Questions about gender relations built into transnational families raises here showing the changes and continuities that occur from the migration of the mother or father, in which gender inequalities are reproduced or transformed.
Keywords : family; gender; care; international migration; transnationalism.
