Research Abstract |
Professor Rosas is currently writing a manuscript for publication which historicizes the transnational roots and routes of ideas, cultural practices, and political strategies shaping the mid-twentieth century Mexican immigrant family experience in Mexico and the United States. The transnational and gendered fluidity of state manufactured conceptions of the mid-twentieth century Mexican immigrant family and the different ways in which three generations of children, women, and men confronted this ideal in Mexico and the United States is at the heart of this history. Oscillating between bracero, undocumented Mexican immigrant, U.S. permanent resident, and naturalized U.S. citizenship status, these families confronted the arduous challenge of belonging and raising families stretched across borders. | |
