Mothers and Facebook Children -- Communities of Care --
Caring Even if It Hurts.
520 "For generations, migration moved in one direction at a
time: migrants to host countries, and money to families
left behind. The Labor of Care argues that globalization
has changed all that. Valerie Francisco-Menchavez spent
five years alongside a group of working migrant mothers.
Drawing on interviews and up-close collaboration with
these women, Francisco-Menchavez looks at the sacrifices,
emotional and material consequences, and recasting of
roles that emerge from family separation. She pays
particular attention to how technologies like Facebook,
Skype, and recorded video open up transformative ways of
bridging distances while still supporting traditional
family dynamics. As she shows, migrants also build
communities of care in their host countries. These chosen
families provide an essential form of mutual support. What
emerges is a fascinating portrait of today's transnational
family--sundered, yet inexorably linked over the distances
by timeless emotions and new forms of intimacy"--

520 "The nature of transnational families is such that
separated members, both abroad and home, consistently
craft strategies of care through technology and
multidirectional care work to cope with the difficult
sacrifice of migration. This book is about the affliction
of migration and globalization and the durability of
families through these circumstances. It provides accounts
of the impact of global care chains on the families of
migrant women from the Philippines and the emergence of
new forms of intimacies and care work as the women
navigate and negotiate the emotional and material
consequences of family separation and the resulting shifts
in family gender dynamics. Drawing on extensive fieldwork,
Francisco presents the self-care perspective of women of
color feminism by showing the multidirectional care work
that occurs with migration and investigates the changes in
family that come with migration and circumstances where
migrants are separated from their families because of
legal or economic reasons. Anchored in the experiences and
lives of Filipino migrants and their families in the
Philippines, it also describes the lives of many families
from the Global South who are separated from one another.
Francisco highlights the way in which new technologies
have become central to the reconfiguration of family and
how Facebook, Skype, and recorded videos and pictures are
important components in the lives of migrant mothers and
their families left behind. Francisco analyzes the
formation of extended communities of migrant mothers and
the fictive kinships that women apart from families of
origin create abroad in their mother work abroad"--
