Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Barbara, 2010.

My dissertation research, examines the dynamics of racially-gendered identities in forced migrant community-building. Based on research conducted with indigenous Mayan (Kanjobal) Guatemalans living in La Gloria, a former refugee settlement camp in Chiapas, Mexico and among kin members in Los Angeles, California (L.A.), I explore how gender relations impact migration, settlement, and community formation to form distinct counterhegemonic ethnic identities that influence political ideology and community formation in their host societies. Additionally, I address how multilateral and state development projects shape health patterns in migrant communities -- with a focus on the concerns of women and the indigenous -- via the regulatory impact they have in shaping gender relations and population flows, and the organized responses forced migrants have in strengthening community autonomy.

520 $a My work examines the impact transnationally connected American cultural feminists have in reinforcing the construction of the quintessential vulnerable subject, naturalized as a refugee mother and child, that requires protection from sex/gender violence. I explore this dimension by examining how gender-based development programs were integrated in the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), specifically education and reproductive health, and how it was used to respond to the forced migration of Guatemalan's residing in La Gloria. I also examine the Mexican state's national Oportunidades program -- a conditional cash transfer antipoverty program -- that provides grant subsidies on the basis of meeting periodic health check-ups and minimum school attendance requirements. As a whole, findings revealed how reproductive health projects in La Gloria further the sexual regulation of women's bodies, while male participation in reproductive health projects is overlooked.
