Norma Fuentes-Mayorga

From Homemakers to Breadwinners to Community Leaders

Migrating Women, Class, and Color

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

From Homemakers to Breadwinners to Community Leaders compares the immigration and integration experiences of Dominican and Mexican women in New York City. The book documents the significance of women-led migration within an increasingly racialized context and underscores the contributions women make to their communities of origin and of settlement. Fuentes-Mayorga’s research is timely, especially against the backdrop of policy debates about the future of family reunification laws and the unprecedented immigration of women and minors from Latin America.
