| dc.description.abstract | Theories on gender discourses in the context of migration suggest that they would change and become more egalitarian. While most scholars analysing these changes focus on structural changes in the lives of migrants, my contributions to this body of literature lie in focusing on individual agency in transnational discourses on care. I focus on the agency of Mexican migrant mothers, who lived in the United States and returned to their home in Azumiatla, Puebla. By unravelling discourses with the gender lens and operationalising agency by using the concept of social navigation, I show how the women's agency is manifested: Not only in acting in a way that opposes traditional gendered practices, but in using and stretching traditional ideals. | |
