title: Caribbean international circulation:  are Puerto Rican women tied-circulators?
abstract: Aspects of migration between Puerto Rico and the United States are explored.  "This examination of the multiple-movement behaviour of a sample of Puerto Rican women seeks to unravel the relations between their circulation patterns, their family and contextual situations and their declared motives for undertaking international mobility.  The leading question asked in this study is whether this international mobility behaviour of Puerto Rican women is autonomous or dependent upon the movement or decision-making of others.  Structural theory suggests the latter is most likely, but behavioural divergence occurs in return movement."
