Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper illustrates the factors that shaped the recent immigration and integration of Dominican and Mexican women in NYC during the 1990s. It lends comparative insights on how gender and economic structures combine to mediate the immigration process as well as the initial work integration of two Latina women groups within the host society. The paper is based on both ethnographic and structured interviews data collected during the fall of 1999 and the summer of 2003 among 86 women and 30 informants, including employers. Comparative analysis of the women's class, gender and household structures before and after the immigration offers insight on the causes of the immigration and exposes the mediating yet unstudied role of spouses and male partners' networks and their significance in the immigration and the initial integration of women in NYC. Finally, the paper seeks to contribute knowledge to the immigration and gender literatures by incorporating the importance of gender, class and race within immigration research and their implications for the social positioning of immigrant women within the host society. The paper argues that changes in the service sectors of New York City now limit the ethnic integration of Dominicans more than Mexicans and the life chances women now face contribute to the larger marginalization and racialization of the groups in 1990s in New York.
