This edited volume explores how and why immigrant/refugee mothers'
experiences differ due to the challenges posed by the migration
process, but also what commonalities underline immigrant/refugee
mothers' lived experiences. This book will add to the field of
women's studies the much-needed discussion of how immigrant and
refugee mothers' lives are dependent on cultural, environmental and
socio-economic circumstances. The collection offers multiple
perspectives on migrant mothering by including ethnographic and
theoretical submissions along with mothers' personal narratives and
literary analyses from diverse locales: New Zealand, Japan, Canada,
The United States, Turkey, Italy and the Netherlands among others.
The first section of the volume focuses on mothers' roles in the
family institution and the pressures and responsibilities they face
in "creating" and "reproducing" families physically and socially.
The second section shifts its attention to children and highlights
mothers' continued roles in the development of their children
abroad, along with the gendered/generational dynamics in the
settlement process and the resultant effects on motherhood
responsibilities. In all chapters, readers will find how women
negotiate their traditional roles in a new sociocultural milieu,
and how mothering processes are critical in creating connections
with traditions and homelands.
