A Narrative Constellation of Resistance. Young Sons and Daughters Of Agricultural Workers on the Mexico-U.S. Border

This article deals with the life histories of young Oaxacans settled in two far-removed locations involved in intensive agriculture. The author proposes the notion of the narrative constellation of resistance as a methodological resource for analyzing the complexity of life histories on di - erent levels (geographical, collective, and individual). Resistance is dealt with as a narrative route produced by the subjects in response to the historic overarching ethnic, gender, racial, and class discrimination experienced over di erent generations. The article draws on a qualita - tive methodology, using in-depth interviews in a biographical cohort study.
