Re-Working Time: The Temporal Dimensions of Transnational Migration Amidst Neoliberal Restructuring
Roger Rouse Abstract: How do people involved in migration between Mexico and the United States make and re-make time and space – in the places from which they set out, in the places to which they move, and in the relationships they construct between them? What dispositions guide the particular ways they understand, evaluate, and seek to participate in these processes? And how have their spatio-temporal practices and dispositions been changing over the last two and a half decades as long-term shifts in dominant strategies of capital accumulation have been given added momentum in both countries by the increasingly convergent restructuring of processes of political and cultural regulation along broadly “neoliberal” lines? |
