Boehm has often asked individuals: if there were no barriers to your movement between Mexico and the United States, where would you choose to live? Almost always, they desire the freedom to ?come and go.? Yet the barriers preventing such movement are many. Because of the United States? rigid immigration policies, Mexican immigrants often find themselves living long distances from family members and unable to easily cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Transnational Mexicans experience what Boehm calls ?intimate migrations,? flows that both shape and are structured by gendered and familial actions and interactions, but are always defined by the presence of the U.S. state. Intimate Migrations is based on over a decade of ethnographic research, focusing on Mexican immigrants with ties to a small, rural community in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosí and several states in the U.S. West. By showing how intimate relations direct migration, and by looking at kin and gender relationships through the lens of illegality, Boehm sheds new light on the study of gender and kinship, as well as understandings of the state and transnational migration. 606 $aMexicans$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aTransnationalism 606 $aSex role$zUnited States 606 $aMexican American families 606 $aImmigrant families$zUnited States 606 $aNoncitizens$zUnited States 606 $aIllegal immigration 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 607 $aMexico$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMexicans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aTransnationalism. 615 0$aSex role 615 0$aMexican American families. 615 0$aImmigrant families 615 0$aNoncitizens 615 0$aIllegal immigration. 676 $a304.8/73072 700 $aBoehm$b Deborah A$01567642 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790012503321 996 $aIntimate migrations$93839163 997 $aUNINA 999 $p110.14$u05/03/2017$5Hist
