OverviewPressing Onward narrates the lives of mothers who migrated from Latin America and settled in New Haven, Connecticut, overcoming trauma and ongoing adversity to build futures for their children. By enacting imperative resilience, migrant mothers engage cognitive and social strategies to resist racial, economic, and gender-based oppression to seguir adelante, or press onward. Both a contemporary view of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on racially minoritized populations and a timeless account of the ways immigration enforcement and healthcare inequality affect migrant mothers, Pressing Onward uses ethnography to tell a greater story of persistence amid longstanding structural violence.
