Abstract

This article explores the relational production of gendered discourses of reproduction that have emerged in newspaper debates over Mexican immigration and in interviews with Mexican migrant women conducted in 2003–2004 in Washington State's Yakima Valley. It argues that gendered discourses of reproduction are being deployed in the governance of Mexican migration and settlement in the Yakima Valley. It also claims that Mexican migrant women are both recomposing and resisting racialized and gendered national borders through these discourses in their narratives of migration and settlement.
