Through her research, she highlights the significance of women-led migration within an increasingly racialized context, emphasizing the contributions women make to their communities of origin and settlement. Fuentes-Mayorga's work is particularly timely, given the ongoing policy debates surrounding family reunification laws and the unprecedented immigration of women and minors from Latin America, many of whom seek human rights protection or reunite with families in the US. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book offers a poignant exploration of the struggles faced by migrant mothers and the pain of family separation, while also showcasing the agency and resilience of women who bring their human capital and remittances to both the receiving and sending communities. It sheds light on the heterogeneity of Latin American immigration and highlights the social mobility of Afro-Caribbean and indigenous migrant women in New York. By examining the experiences of these women, Fuentes-Mayorga contributes to our understanding of the complex dynamics of immigration and its impact on communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 484g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 235 x 159 x 20 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781978822139\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Norma Fuentes-Mayorga","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44232516600058,"sku":"9781978822139","price":107.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1683887552882_book.jpg?v=1683959297","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/from-homemakers-to-breadwinners-to-community-leaders-migrating-women-class-and-color-9781978822139","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
