Abstract: The relationship between migration and gender roles has received increased attention in recent decades but most of the literature has focused on transnational migration while the relationships between transnational and internal migration, and gender roles and internal migration have not been widely studied. In this paper, I analyse internal migration as a \u2018transborder experience\u2019. I argue that indigenous women from Zegache who engage in internal migration to Mexico City pose greater challenges to \u2018traditional\u2019 gender roles in their community because their experience as single young women navigating Mexico\u2019s capital and their reliance on female social networks allow them to obtain social legitimation by claiming migration experience and courageousness. I contrast migration to Mexico City with transnational migration. Although transnational migration challenges, to some extent, existing gender roles, women from Zegache who migrate transnationally often do so as part of couples and within gendered social networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
