Iván Sandoval-Cervantes, author of 'Oaxaca in Motion: An Ethnography of Internal, Transnational, and Return Migration', explores the global nature of internal migration and its impact on gender roles. His research in rural Oaxaca reveals how women travel to Mexico City for domestic work, while men join the military or leave their fields for global industries. These migration experiences reshape migrants' views of masculinity and femininity, influencing their families and communities. Comparisons between Oaxacans in Mexico and those on the US West Coast highlight the diverse meanings of migration.
