Fenómenos migratorios y género: Identidades femeninas "remodeladas"

Abstract

Migrations have important implications for women's identities. From this statement, this essay asks for the consequences of two migratory processes very different in the women's gender identity: the Chilean women in Europe, exiled by the military dictatorship regime, and of Peruvian immigrant women in Santiago, during the nineties. To answer this question, the essay proposes to establish a relation between theoretical developments from transcultural psychology, and other discipline's studies, to analyze psychological acculturation processes of immigrant women. © 2008 Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile.
