ARIZA, Marina. Migration and Family in Mexican Research: A Recent Appraisal. Migr. Inter [online]. 2014, vol.7, n.4, pp.09-37. ISSN 2594-0279.

An analysis has been conducted of the path taken by research on migration and family in Mexico in the past six years (2007-2012), with the aim of highlighting emerging lines, analytical approaches, main concepts and methodological strategies. The results point to the opening up of new fields of reflection, such as the relationship between emotion, affect and migration, and the problems of migrant children, together with the continued existence of fairly consolidated areas. They also show a degree of mainstreaming of the gender approach and a significant yet uneven presence of transnationalism as the most important analytical framework in recent decades, as well as the predominance of qualitative methodological strategies.

Palabras llave : migration; family; analytical dimensions; methodological approaches; challenges.
