De hija a madre. La negociación de la identidad de género en una historia de migración desde Perú hacia Europa

This essay analyzes the case-study of a Peruvian girl of 8 years old originally from Trujillo, who is separated from her mother when she decided to emigrate to Toledo in 2002. His autobiographical narrative reconstructs the mental map of migration undertaken both from the point of view of family relationships through drawings and a letter to the mother who is in Turin. In this story of life, the use of individual and collective memory are essential for carrying out the negotiation process of gender identity, it also serves to verify the identity changes that the mother has transmitted or shut up - from Europe - to her daughter. The separation and silence between mother and daughter creates discontinuity, broken mirrors of a gender identity that has to reproduce through memory and with a new starting point, a distant migration and an indecipherable map from which is possible to know the new generations.
