Abstract
This chapter uses biographical narratives of migrant leaders to analyze how they connect different arenas of political engagement in a transborder context. Many of the migrant leaders are committed to the concerns of the Mexican community in Chicago as well as to the support of the communities of origin in Mexico. In the first part of the chapter the profile of four male leaders is presented. In the second part, the less frequent but no less significant engagement of four female leaders is discussed. Using gender analysis, differences between male and female leaders are discussed. In the third part of the chapter the significance of the transnational nature of their political engagement in the context of their life stories is analyzed.
