Se abordan los motivos que las llevaron a migrar, así como la forma en que llegaron a Estados Unidos y se incorporaron al trabajo remunerado.Se destacan algunos aspectos que les permiten su inserción en la sociedad angelina, junto con prácticas de reactivación identitaria, para demostrar que la adaptación a la cultura receptora es pausada, irregular e incompleta, pero suficiente para desplegar estrategias de pervivencia. Se ha partido de que la condición femenina de la migración imprime a este fenómeno características específicas que merecen atención particular.De acuerdo con esto, el análisis del documento se ha basado en una intención interpretativa del sentido de las acciones, para lo cual se retomó el contenido de diez entrevistas a profundidad realizadas durante 2012 en Los Ángeles.El Colegio de la Frontera Norte2017-04-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://migracionesinternacionales.colef.mx/index.php/migracionesinternacionales/article/view/65710.17428/rmi.v7i27.657Migraciones Internacionales; Vol. 7 No. 27 (2014): July-December, 2014; 69-100Migraciones Internacionales; Vol. 7 Núm. 27 (2014): julio-diciembre, 2014; 69-1002594-02791665-8906reponame:Migraciones Internacionalesinstname:EL COLEGIO DE LA FRONTERA NORTEinstacron:COLEFspahttps://migracionesinternacionales.colef.mx/index.php/migracionesinternacionales/article/view/657/211Derechos de autor 2017 Migraciones Internacionalesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistas.colef.mx:article/6572024-08-22T18:15:27Z
