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"-- |cProvided by publisher. 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"-- |cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed April 26, 2018). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Transborder ethnic groups|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2007000386|zPhilippines.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79058386-781 650 0 Women immigrants|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85147549|zPhilippines.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79058386-781 650 0 Mothers|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85087526|zPhilippines.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n79058386-781 650 0 Digital communications|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85037972|zPhilippines.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79058386-781 650 0 Internet|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2009127185|zPhilippines.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79058386-781 650 0 Transnationalism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh00009276 650 7 Transborder ethnic groups.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1742146 650 7 Women immigrants.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1177764 650 7 Mothers.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1026940 650 7 Digital communications.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/893634 650 7 Internet|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1766793 650 7 Transnationalism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1154884 650 7 Mothers.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001021 651 7 Philippines.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1205261 655 4 Electronic books. 830 0 Asian American experience.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n92099257 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1595812|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
