PARELLA, Sònia. Los vínculos afectivos y de cuidado en las familias transnacionales: Migrantes ecuatorianos y peruanos en España. Migr. Inter [online]. 2007, vol.4, n.2, pp.151-188. ISSN 2594-0279.

This paper analyzes one type of transnational migrant practices, affective and care ties, from a family perspective, including the overlapping of productive and reproductive spheres. It uses a transnational perspective on migration to explore the relationships and practices linking migrants to their societies of origin. To this end, it examines the practices of 'transnational families' in two migrant groups: Peruvian and Ecuadorian migrants living in Spain and their counterparts in their countries of origin. The study explores the elements of continuity and change in family relations as a result of migratory processes.

Keywords : transnational family; transnationalism; reproductive sphere; Ecuador; Peru.
