Abstract

From a transnational, gender and generational focus, this article proposes rebuilding migratory projects transformation and the organizational family living ways of the Colombian migrants settled in Spain, from the late nineties to the second decade of the 21st century. The incidence of three specific factors/moments will be analyzed: the women migration from Colombia to Spain at the end of the nineties, the Visa requirements imposed to Colombian citizens in 2002 and the impact of the actual economic crisis. The analysis is based on longitudinal fieldwork in origin and destination places, developed with the same families during over ten years, paying special attention to the young population.
