Race, Class, and Gender: Reformulating the Push and Pull Factors Explanation of Hispanic Immigration.
Marquez, Stephanie Amedeo
Race, Gender, and Class, v4 n2 p45-55 1997
Examines the "push and pull factors" model in Hispanic immigration, and argues that women's immigration experiences, being widely different from those of men, are not readily reducible to a simple poverty/jobs equation. Further, the push/pull thesis of jobs and poverty only reinforces negative stereotypes of hordes of immigrants fleeing poverty and stealing American jobs. (GR)
