The Elementary Structuring of Patriarchy: Bolivian Women and Transborder Mobilities in the Andes

Based on the life histories of indigenous women, the volume establishes a bridge between the classical anthropological studies on kinship and contemporary research on the gender inequalities in transnational and transborder migrant families. This ethnographically-informed exercise establishes a critical feminist contribution to the study of border territories.
