Resumen:
Taking Latin American migration to Spain as a case study, the aim of our analysis is to demonstrate how the combination of migration policies (controls, residence, family reunification) and the precarious labor conditions of domestic work (informality, temporary, low salaries, long working days) creates obstacles for domestic workers living in migration to reunite their families in Spain. In this way, Spain´s public policies foster the extension and prolongation of transnational family bonds in general, and more specifically, transnational maternity. It seems that the geographical dispersal of migrant family members is becoming a distinctive feature of North?South migration in the twentyfirst century.
