Women and children in a neighborhood advocacy group: engaging community and refashioning citizenship at the United States–Mexico border

Mapping Children's Politics: The Promise of Articulation and the Limits of Nonrepresentational Theory

“…This is not to suggest that all scholarship investigating children’s politics or social worlds is inflected by these ideas. Indeed, much of the ongoing work on children continues to emphasize the structural forces and material practices which affect subjectivity and agency (see, eg, Aitken and Plows, 2010; Bosco et al, 2011; Hopkins, 2009; Thomas, 2009). Similarly, significant work linking the vagaries of an ever-shifting capitalist economy with the experiences of childhood and opportunities of young people worldwide continues to remain front and central, particularly in US-based scholarship (eg, Katz, 2004; 2008).…”

Habitar entre fronteras. Un estudio teórico sobre mujeres migrantes y hogares transnacionales y transfronterizos

Simultáneamente, la migración es un fenómeno dialéctico que también permite la ruptura de situaciones de violencia y desigualdad, lo que representa oportunidades de construcción de autonomía, agencia, resistencia y acción política (Assis, 2004;Bosco et al, 2011;Herrera, 2012;Piscitelli, 2012;Wilkins, 2017). Así, oportunidad y desigualdad son las dos caras de un fenómeno que Sassen (2001, p. 103) denomina "feminización de la supervivencia".…”

“…Un grupo de mujeres latinas se organiza para mejorar las condiciones de vida en un barrio fronterizo de California(Bosco et al, 2011). 15 Los autores consideran "hogares guatemaltecos" aquellos habitados por ciudadanos oriundos de Guatemala y, principalmente, de la zona fronteriza con México.…”
