Cybermarriages in Mexico and Colombia: From the erotics of nationalism to the modulations of a citizenship across borders - 2018.

Over 200 international marriage broker websites, advertising romance and marriage between U.S. men and Latin American women. Yet, despite the fact that international marriage sites advertise all Latin American countries as breeding women who are naturally more feminine, beautiful and family-oriented than U.S. women, this article explores the reasons women from Guadalajara, Mexico and Cali, Colombia express distinct reasons for marrying U.S. men. Part of this difference, the essay argues, tells us how women’s class status alters their relation to their particular national imaginary.
