¿Por qué si hay tanta violencia en el camino ellas siguen migrando? Antropología, violencia y migración

Resumen

This article aims to construct an anthropological route to explore migration in transit through the framing of violence and gender and the feminist category of lived experience. The analysis is situated in relation to a continuum of violence that poor migrant central American women face from early in their lives and not just when migrating. Arguments are supported by a multi-sited ethnography approach and the idea of violence as a constitutive life element producing oppressive relationships of women before, during, and after the migratory experience.
