Abstract

GARCIA RIOS, Hidalia et al. Gender Status and Position of Elderly Persons During Migration Processes in Chiautzingo, Puebla, Mexico. Migr. Inter [online]. 2022, vol.13, rmiv1i12339.  Epub Dec 05, 2022. ISSN 2594-0279.  https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.2339.

Differential analysis of gender status and position was carried out among men returning from the Bracero program and their wives, who remained in the localities of origin in the municipality of Chiautzingo, Puebla. From an ethnographic approach and with participant observation, in-depth interviews were conducted with a sample of nine adults: five men and four women. In fulfilling their labor assignments, migrants experienced violations of their human rights that negatively affected their gender status and position, which improved upon their return due to access to resources and prestige. Intergenerational migration networks were created, covering up to third generations. Women were affected in their status and position by reproducing gender subordination in the domestic group and the community. The contribution of the women who remained in their locality during the migratory process and the continuity of unequal relationships were made visible.

Keywords : social relationships; masculinity; subordination; Sierra Nevada; Chiautzingo, Puebla.
