| Sumario: | New guest worker programs that promote temporary and documented immigration have been re-implemented by the United States. This is immigration policy that affects Mexican family organization within and across the border. Hence this paper examines fi rst how Mexican male sojourners undertake their reproductive and productive work, by helping to sustain family life even though they are prevented from family reunifi cation. Second, it explores how sojourners rearrange their parental responsibilities that have been disrupted by spatial-temporal family separation through transnational fatherhood. |
