This article explores how suspicions of kala jaddu (black magic) restructure local and transnational family networks among Pakistani immigrants in Denmark. The notions of 'working' and 'stealing' are analysed as two idioms that sum up what it means to 'be' and 'do' family. 'Working' refers to the expectations and moral obligations of the traditional patrilocal household, 'stealing' to the appropriation of emotional and material means through the use of kala jaddu. It is argued that black magic is employed to contest authority and reorganize transnational migrant networks, and that growing anxieties about kala jaddu are due to intergenerational changes within Pakistani families, as well as to the changing political climate towards immigrants in Danish society. Résumé L'auteur explore la manière dont les soupçons de magie noire (kala jaddu) restructurent les réseaux familiaux locaux et transnationaux des immigrés pakistanais au Danemark. Les notions de « travail » et de « vol » sont analysées comme deux idiomes qui résument ce que signifie «être » et « faire » une famille. « Travail » renvoie aux attentes et aux obligations morales de la maisonnée patrilocale traditionnelle, « vol »à l'appropriation de moyens émotionnels et matériels par le recours à la kala jaddu. L'auteur avance que la magie noire est employée pour contester l'autorité et réorganiser les réseaux de migrants transnationaux et que l'inquiétude grandissante à son sujet résulte des changements intergénérationnels dans les familles pakistanaises autant que du changement de climat politique vis-à-vis des immigrés dans la société danoise
