FRANCO AGUILAR, José. Mexican women migrants returning. Reconfigurations in the family dynamics. Trace (Méx. DF) [online]. 2021, n.80, pp.234-262. Epub 11-Oct-2021. ISSN 2007-2392. https://doi.org/10.22134/trace.80.2021.754.
This article analyzes the changes and continuities in gender roles and family dynamics among migrant women returning from the United States. It considers the migratory experience as a potentially important factor influencing changes in gender dynamics within the family. The objective is to construct a typology that discriminates between existing changes in family dynamics and changes in gender roles resulting from the migratory experience. In order to provide a context to contrast situations, the article explores gender dynamics apparent in certain family dynamics, including housework, childcare, patterns of family interaction, and returning migrants’ conception of their position within the domestic group. The subjects of analysis are twenty returning migrant women from the United States who currently reside in a rural village in Jalisco, Mexico.
