Using a gender-sensitive political economy approach, this book
analyzes the emergence of new migration patterns between Central
Mexico and the East Coast of the United States in the last decades
of the twentieth century, and return migration during and after the
global economic crisis of 2007. Based on ethnographic research
carried out over a decade, details of the lives of women and men
from two rural communities reveal how neoliberal economic
restructuring led to the deterioration of livelihoods starting in
the 1980s. Similar restructuring processes in the United States
opened up opportunities for Mexican workers to labor in US
industries that relied heavily on undocumented workers to sustain
their profits and grow. When the Great Recession hit, in the
context of increasingly restrictive immigration policies, some
immigrants were more likely to return to Mexico than others. This
longitudinal study demonstrates how the interconnections among
class and gender are key to understanding who stayed and who
returned to Mexico during and after the global economic crisis.
Through these case studies, the authors comment more widely on how
neoliberalism has affected the livelihoods and aspirations of the
working classes. This book will be of key interest to scholars,
students and practitioners in migration studies, gender
studies/politics, and more broadly to international relations,
anthropology, development studies, and human geography.
