Universidad de Zaragoza Retirement migration and transnationalism in northern Mexico 2016 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted This article examines the phenomenon of transnationalism among retired immigrants living in border areas of northern Mexico. Using in-depth interviews conducted with US retirees residing in Baja California, Mexico, we seek to examine how transnational aging is constructed through different practices, relationships, networks and exchanges between both cultures and countries. We analyse several analytical dimensions of transnationalism including social, economic, cultural, identity and belonging conditions. In particular, networks and exchanges among these elderly migrants are most frequently constructed across social and family networks, economic transfers, access to healthcare, and culture. Additionally, we find that these maintained transnational practices in northern Mexico parallel those of international retired migrants living in other parts of the world. However, we argue that the proximity to the US border enables and encourages many types of connections of varying intensities. Finally, we discuss the implications for future research linking transnationalism with international retirement migration. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 1.362 2016 ETHNIC STUDIES 4 / 15 = 0.267 2016 Q2 T1 DEMOGRAPHY 11 / 26 = 0.423 2016 Q2 T2 1.399 2016 Demography 2016 Q1 Arts and Humanities (miscellaneous) 2016 Q1 PAS Calendario Laboral PAS info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Guillén, J.C.
