Summary
Presenting a miltisited ethnography of communication in extended familiies living between the US and El Salvador, this text examines seemingly mundance conversational practices. Such practices (sending greetings, reminiscing) are central to family life across borders and it underscores the consequentiality of these linguistic practices by tracing how they are shaped by and reshape gendered and generational norms of family care.
