Stephanie L. Canizales published a new artticle in the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies titled “Between Obligations and Aspirations: Unaccompanied Immigrant Teen Workers’ Transnational Lives and Imagined Futures.” Relying on ethnographic observation and in-depth interviews with undocumented Latinx young adults who arrived in Los Angeles, California, as unaccompanied minors, this study examines immigrant youth workers’ migration motives, their transnational ties and transnationalism’s effect on their imagined futures. Findings offer important insights into the changing nature of transnational families, unaccompanied minors’ coming of age, and the lives of migrant youth workers in the US.
