Doulas as Time Brokers
The birth doula movement highlights a fundamental conflict between biomedicine’s relationship with time and the uncertain processes of birth, demonstrating how speed at which interventions are offered and the timetables within which choices are made can interrupt and undermine patient autonomy, health, and safety. Drawing on 25 interviews with birth doulas in 2022–23, we present a theory of sociotemporal brokerage, arguing that doulas represent t…
Gateway to the North? Contingent Journeys at the Mexico-Guatemala Border
As insecurity in Central America persists and avenues for asylum in the U.S. constrict, migrants are exploring options in Mexico-to seek humanitarian relief or to bide time as they consider whether to continue north, settle, or return. Based on interviews with migrants and shelter staff at the Mexico-Guatemala border in the summer of 2017, this article applies contingency logics (Bledsoe 2002) to analyze how proximate social ties, accumulated exp…
Paradoxes of Protection
Executive Summary Anti-immigrant rhetoric and constricting avenues for asylum in the United States, amid continuing high rates of poverty, environmental crisis, and violence in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, have led many migrants from these countries to remain in Mexico. Yet despite opportunities for humanitarian relief in Mexico, since the early 2000s the Mexican government, under growing pressure from the United States, has pursued enfo…
Segmented Re/integration
This study extends segmented assimilation to post-deportation studies. Drawing from life history interviews with 96 deported Salvadoran men, it argues that deportees follow different paths to re/integration upon return. Divergent trajectories are explained by an interaction between the context of return (government policies, social reception, economic structure, and the deportee community), migrant characteristics (demographics, criminal and migr…
Neglected, Protected, Ejected
The United States deported 24,870 women in 2013, mostly to Latin America. We examine life history interviews with Mexican and Central American women who were apprehended, detained, and experienced different outcomes. We find that norms of the “crimmigration era” override humanitarian concerns, such that the state treats migrants as criminals first and as persons with claims for relief second. Removal and relief decisions appear less dependent on …
