Abstrak

Focusing on two main aspects of the Spanish-Galician migration experience, this article attempts to analyze how migrants’ actions and discourses are shaped by notions of gender. First, the discourse of returning will question notions of family and how differently men and women define their positions as members of a family. While men seem to link their social identity to immovable goods of prestige back in Galicia, women are able to redefine their social identity as they base it on social relations. The second aspect deals with the fact that cleaning is defined as women's work, but at the same time it is – under certain conditions – performed by men.
