Undocumented Mexicanas in the Rural United States

Tina U. Hancock

North Carolina State University, tuhan-coc{at}chass.ncsu.edu

Drawing on structural and life-cycle perspectives and a limited body of literature, this article explores the obstacle of illegal status to expanding views of self, the more equitable gender roles in marriage, and the mothering responsibilities for young working-class women from rural Mexico who have settled in rural communities and small towns in the United States. Strengths related to the Mexican culture and risks and opportunities accompanying migration in young adulthood are examined within this framework.

Key Words: adult development • immigrant women • migration
