Women's Migration Networks
WOMEN'S MIGRATION NETWORKS IN MEXICO AND BEYOND by Tamar Wilson received the Silver 2012 Past Presidents' Book Award from the Association for Borderlands Studies.

 

Centering on the story of doña Consuelo, a woman Wilson met in a Mexicali squatter settlement in 1988, as well as on the stories of her two daughters in the United States, this study examines the vital role that women's networks play, both within Mexico and transnationally, not only in assisting other women to migrate, but in providing support for male family members as well.
