This dissertation is about the migration journeys of immigrant adolescent girls. In contrast to most immigration literature, I look at the lives of girls before and after their arrival in California's Napa Valley. With a particular focus on family stage migration, this research is based on twenty oral histories of girls who experienced separation and sporadic visits from their fathers, mothers, or both parents before their own migration. The girls' experiences as their parents lived and worked in Napa and commuted "home" for visits are central to this work. Nineteen of the girls come from south and central Mexico and one is from Guatemala. All lived in transnational households and waited for their fathers to visit, their mothers to call, or for both to decide to take them to Napa. This, I argue, placed the girls in a temporal location before migration, where the time spent waiting to move disturbed and fractured their lives. Here, I use the work of Mexican scholars who address the "multi-temporal heterogeneities" of Mexico to understand the temporal location created by their parents' migration.

520 $a This dissertation is about the migration journeys of immigrant adolescent girls. In contrast to most immigration literature, I look at the lives of girls before and after their arrival in California's Napa Valley. With a particular focus on family stage migration, this research is based on twenty oral histories of girls who experienced separation and sporadic visits from their fathers, mothers, or both parents before their own migration. The girls' experiences as their parents lived and worked in Napa and commuted "home" for visits are central to this work. Nineteen of the girls come from south and central Mexico and one is from Guatemala. All lived in transnational households and waited for their fathers to visit, their mothers to call, or for both to decide to take them to Napa. This, I argue, placed the girls in a temporal location before migration, where the time spent waiting to move disturbed and fractured their lives. Here, I use the work of Mexican scholars who address the "multi-temporal heterogeneities" of Mexico to understand the temporal location created by their parents' migration.
520 $a After their arrival, the girls lived in the Napa Valley. Here, the wine and tourist industry are central. I explore the stark contrast of the Napa imagined by the millions of tourists who visit the Wine Country and enjoy the "Napa Way of Life," and the one experienced by these girls. I present a different narrative of this place to highlight the lives of the "real" people of the Valley that no one dares to see. The girls' stories differ from those found in endless magazine articles about the wine and the wine makers of the Valley.
520 $a This dissertation centers girls' stories to challenge dominant motifs and rationales for migration north. Thus it contributes to the broad field of immigration scholarship that has neglected the stories of immigrant youth, particularly adolescent girls.
