Dominican-Americans and the Politics of Empowerment. Ana Aparicio
A Glass Half Full? Gender in Migration Studies
Gender Matters
Ethnographers from anthropology, sociology, and other disciplines have been at the forefront of efforts to bring gender into scholarship on international and transnational migration. This article traces the long and often arduous history of these scholars' efforts, arguing that though gender is now less rarely treated merely as a variable in social science writing on migration, it is still not viewed by most researchers in the field as a key cons…
Transnational Migration
This article aims to bring gender into an even tighter transnational migration focus by broadening and deepening our original framework of “gendered geographies of power,” linking it more directly to existing and emerging scholarship. We examine and highlight previously neglected areas such as the role of the state and the social imaginary in gendering transnational processes and experiences. We identify topics that remain under-appreciated, unde…

Women's Political Consciousness and Empowerment in Local, National, and Transnational Contexts
This study of Guatemalan refugees and returnees contributes to the small corpus of work that interrogates gender and migration/exile from the vantage points of women's political consciousness and empowerment. In taking up these issues, it also seeks to broaden feminist thinking about citizenship by engaging not only local and national contexts in which women's citizenship are forged, but also transnational ones. Key words: GenderGuatemalan refuge…
Engendering Migration Studies
This review highlights contributions made by scholars who have treated gender as a central organizing principle in migration and suggests some promising lines for future inquiry. Many significant topics emerge when gender is brought to the foreground, such as how and why women and men experience migration differently and how this contrast affects settlement, return, and transmigration. A gendered perspective demands a scholarly reengagement with …
Changing Identities
The Elusive Enclave
In much of the social science literature on immigrant entrepreneurship and ethnic enclaves, social solidarity among coethnics is assumed rather than substantiated. Immigrants are portrayed as constituting ethnic communities based on organic solidarity with little of the asymmetry, exploitation, and individualism characterizing the host society. This study of Latino entrepreneurs in Greater Washington, DC insists that rather than assuming the exis…
Maya in Exile
On the Homefront and in the Workplace
This article focuses on the experiences of Dominican immigrant women in the United States. It examines ways in which research with immigrant women challenges certain claims advanced by feminist theorists regarding the nature of unpaid domestic work, the relationship between waged work and women's emancipation, and the interdependence between struggles in the family and factory. Attention is drawn to traces of essentialism in the ways in which sev…

Between Two Islands. Dominican International Migration
Structuring Diversity
Through ethnographic research, sociologists and anthropologists explore the interaction of America's newcomers with established residents in six cities. Their analysis highlights the importance of class and power as immigrants interact in the workplace, at home, at school, and in community organizations
Millenarian Vision, Capitalist Reality
Between Two Islands
Between Two Islands
Popular notions about migration to the United States from Latin America and the Caribbean are too often distorted by memories of earlier European migrations and by a tendency to generalize from the more familiar cases of Mexico and Puerto Rico. Between Two Islands is an interdisciplinary study of Dominican migration, challenging many widespread, yet erroneous, views concerning the socio-economic background of new immigrants and the causes and con…
The Linkage between the Household and Workplace of Dominican Women in the U.S
Patricia R. Pessar, The Linkage between the Household and Workplace of Dominican Women in the U.S., The International Migration Review, Vol. 18, No. 4, Special Issue: Women in Migration (Winter, 1984), pp. 1188-1211
The Linkage between the Household and Workplace of Dominican Women in the U.S
This article explores the interdependence between the household and workplace in the lives of Dominican, immigrant women. Ethnographic research documents that while women's participation in wage work contributes to an improvement in domestic social relations, these household level changes do not in turn stimulate modifications in female workers’ consciousness and demands for improved working conditions. Paradoxically, the beliefs about immigratio…
The Role of Households in International Migration and the Case of U.S.- Bound Migration from the Dominican Republic
The Role of Households in International Migration and the Case of U. S. -Bound Migration from the Dominican Republic
An analysis of the role of households in the process of migration between the Dominican Republic and the United States is presented. Several propositions are explored. "Principal among these is the claim that the structure within which Dominican migration occurs is capital's requirement for a continuous stream of cheap, vulnerable labor and the need of households to reproduce themselves at an historically and culturally prescribed level of mainte…
