This is a comparative analysis of differences in the effectiveness of kinship networks among various immigrant groups in San Francisco California. "Based on 80 intensive interviews and ethnographic observations this article seeks to explain instances of network breakdown among Salvadoreans through a comparison with the experiences of Vietnamese and Mexicans among whom kinship networks do not break down in the same manner as they do among Salvadoreans. The analysis in this study suggests that macro-structural forces in the receiving context shape network dynamics among immigrants in significant ways. The forces in the receiving context include immigration policies the oscillations of the local economy and the characteristics of the immigrant community such as its resources and its migratory history."
