Intimate Migrations: Gender, Family, and Illegality among Transnational Mexicans

In her research with transnational Mexicans, Deborah A. Boehm has often asked individuals: if there were no barriers to your movement between Mexico and the United States, where would you choose to live? Almost always, they desire the freedom to â€œcome and go.â€ Yet the barriers preventing such movement are many. Because of rigid U.S. immigration policies, Mexican immigrants often find themselves living long distances from family members and unable to easily cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Transnational Mexicans experience what Boehm calls â€œintimate migrations,â€ flows that both shape and are structured by gendered and familial actions and interactions, but are always defined by the presence of the U.S. state. Â
Â
By showing how intimate relations direct migration, and by looking at kin and gender relationships through the lens of â€œillegality,â€ Boehm sheds new light on the study of gender and kinship, as well as understandings of the state and transnational migration.
