About this product

Product Information

This ethnography gives voice to the experiences of Guatemalan women immigrants in the inner-city areas of Los Angeles. As recent, mostly undocumented, immigrants and refugess, these women are rarely presented to the public ear. Kohpahl traces the social and familial power relationships that play a role in these women's decisions to emigrate as well as their experiences of political persecution in Guatemala. The testimonies of these women reveal that most Guatemalan women come to the United States as single heads of households, contesting the common notion that Latin American women frequently immigrate as dependents of men. Kohpahl also explores the experiences of these women in the United States and reveals the diversity of the Guatemalan community.
