“…Although the consequences of the pandemic have been similar for many students, they have had a more significant impact on populations already living in vulnerable conditions, such as migrants (Ayala et al 2020; CEPAL-NU 2020; Franzé 2020; Ortega 2020). This is the case of the transnational students in this study, who were already experiencing a precarious educational (re)insertion before the pandemic (Carrillo and Román 2021; Hamann 2021; Kasun and Mora 2021; Tacelosky 2021; Zúñiga and Giorguli 2019) — a situation worsened by the economic and health crises triggered by the pandemic.…”

“…Many parents who are deported choose to take their children with them to Mexico (Kline 2016, 46), which means that transnational students attached to families separated by deportation become the children of long-distance (Ballesteros 2020) or transnational parenting (Nyberg and Vammen 2016). Furthermore, their lives are intersected by a series of distinctive elements related to migrationmigration policies, age, length of migration, their own migratory status and that of the other family members, and their attachment to a family economy based on remittances.…”

“…Born in the United States or taken there by their parents at an early age as immigrants, and then moving to Mexico, these children and adolescents have been schooled in the US educational system and later in Mexican schools as part of their forced transnational mobility (Zúñiga, Hamann, and Sánchez 2008; Zúñiga and Hamann 2019). In the Mexican educational system, they encounter several specific obstacles that non-migrant students do not face: issues with enrolment, continuity, and school transit due to the bureaucratic ordeal resulting from their migratory status (Jacobo and Cárdenas 2020); language barriers due to the use of their primary (English) and inherited (Spanish) languages (Tacelosky 2021); a lack of cultural bridges and differences between the United States and Mexican educational systems (Zúñiga and Hamann 2019; Hamann and Zúñiga 2021); and the impacts of parental deportation and family separation on mental and emotional health (Barros 2017, 2019).…”

Transnational Students Facing Multiple Crises: Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Oaxaca, Mexico

This article analyzes the impact of multiple crises — economic, educational, and health — generated by the COVID-19 pandemic among transnational students in Oaxaca, Mexico. The article explores the period between April 2020 and March 2021, the most critical moment of the pandemic in the United States and Mexico. Due to the impact of the pandemic on traditional fieldwork, we developed a qualitative, ethnographic, and virtual methodology. Specifically, we used semi-structured interviews conducted via Meet and telephone and virtual participant observations in online teaching platforms and WhatsApp groups. The main findings of the study reveal that students from transnational families faced three major intertwined crises — economic, educational, and health — from numerous places of differential vulnerability related to forced transnationalism, as generated by the illegality of undocumented Mexican migrants in the United States and their subsequent deportation.

“…En conjunto, los estudios sobre la migración femenina a partir de la globalización permiten plantear que, a pesar del proceso de restructuración global -económica, social y política-, el trabajo reproductivo sigue siendo la base de la actividad productiva y el orden de género hegemónico permanece intacto. Las mujeres continúan siendo las principales responsables del trabajo reproductivo: la maternidad, el cuidado de la casa, de los niños, jóvenes y ancianos (Datta et al, 2010;Mills, 2003;Sørensen & Vammen, 2016). Según Sassen (2003), esto implica que los procesos de globalización económica estén atravesados por la desigualdad de género.…”

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

El artículo interroga cómo las mujeres migrantes internacionales desarrollan experiencias de construir hogares a través de espacialidades simultáneas. Se realiza un análisis teórico de los usos del concepto de hogar en los estudios migratorios y de frontera desde la última década del siglo XX, con un enfoque específico en las dimensiones transnacionales y transfronterizas del fenómeno. Se indaga en las particularidades de los hogares transfronterizos, y se asume que las investigaciones realizadas en territorios limítrofes verificaron una intensificación de las desigualdades vividas por las mujeres en estos espacios. Al seguir los debates heideggerianos se plantea que las desigualdades vividas por las mujeres migrantes y transfronterizas se materializan en sus corporalidades y en sus experiencias de habitar, lo que tiene implicaciones multidimensionales en la manera como ellas articulan sus hogares. Se proponen reflexiones finales sobre la migración, las mujeres y la producción de hogares a través de las fronteras.

“…These family members are physically separated but emotionally attached, feeling a part of a unit through their perception of their well-being from a collective dimension (Bruine, Hordijk, Tamagno, & Sánchez, 2013; Madianou, 2016). Transnational families are transitory configurations, which people attempt to overcome through the return of one or both parents, the children’s gradual migration, following the ways of incorporation of their parents, or through family reunification in the receiving society, after obtaining the required legal permits (Nyberg & Vammen, 2016). In these families, separations are prolonged much longer than initially expected by the mothers and involve many more emotional problems than imagined by their protagonists when they decided to migrate (Fuentes-Gutiérrez, 2014).…”

Objectives: Transnational ties refer to the affective, communicative, and economic relationships that migrant families build between the societies of origin and destination. Investigations of such ties are very scarce. In the present study, focused on Latin American migrant women, transnational ties are considered a protective factor of family functioning, conditioned by premigratory variables. The working hypothesis is that increased frequency of reunited mothers' communication with and remittances to their children during the period of separation prior to the reunion will be linked to better communication, cohesion, flexibility, satisfaction, and family resources, according to the reunited mothers' perception. Method: The sample consisted of 81 mothers of Latin American reunited families. Most of them (61.7%) have 2 or 3 children and 75.3% have already reunited all of their children in Bizkaia. The frequency of communication between family members in the societies of origin and destination and the frequency of remittances were the transnational variables. To observe family functioning, we used the Circumplex Model. A mediation model was tested through structural equation modeling. Results: The results of the study confirmed the mediator role of the transnational variables, especially the frequency of transnational communications, partially or fully moderating the impact of the premigratory variables, and positively associated with family functioning, in terms of greater cohesion, flexibility, communication, satisfaction, and perception of resources. Conclusions: This study has highlighted the role of these ties, which lead to more functional family dynamics. It is necessary to promote new forms of transnational communication that favor subsequent family reunification. Public Significance StatementTransnational ties mediate the impact of the premigration variables and contribute to more functional family dynamics. The frequency of transnational communications, in the first place, and the frequency of remittances, in second place, are strategies to connect with the loved ones in the country of origin that are associated with family functioning in terms of greater cohesion, flexibility, communication, satisfaction and perception of resources of reunited families. New forms of transnational communication that favor subsequent family reunification must be promoted.
