CASTILLO, Rocío Andrea. Indignation and compassion Appropriate and inappropriate feelings in migrant women’s political participation. Alteridades [online]. 2020, vol.30, n.59, pp.73-85.  Epub 02-Feb-2021. ISSN 2448-850X.  https://doi.org/10.24275/uam/izt/dcsh/alteridades/2020v30n59/castillo.

The main objective of this article is to analyze the process of emotional learning of migrant women during their process of becoming activists, focusing on the expression of indignation and the mobilization of compassion. Resulting from an ethnographic research conducted from 2014 to 2015 in the city of Austin, Texas, the text explores the uses, expressions and meanings of two fundamental moral emotions in collective action, which have not been studied much in a migration context. Investigate this intersection will allow us to problematize the understanding of them and that of the female experience in collective action.
