Glass Ceilings and 100-Hour Couples: What the Opt-Out Phenomenon Can Teach Us about Work and Family
Measuring Married Women “Opting Out”
Women in America wield governmental and corporate power at levels never before seen in the history of this country. They have unprecedented access to education, jobs, and income. Having gained a foothold in formerly male-dominated positions, many of these highly educated, accomplished women are opting out of their careers, often as a consequence of becoming mothers. This presents a paradox in the negotiation of women's roles, one whose implicatio…
The Birth of the African‐Irish Diaspora: Pregnancy and Post‐Natal Experiences of African Immigrant Women in Ireland
This article presents findings from a study of African immigration to Ireland. Set against a background description of who these recent immigrants are and why they come, this research, based primarily in a Dublin maternity hospital, looks at the experiences of pregnant and post‐partal African women to explore questions surrounding use of maternity services and their relationship to larger issues of integration into Irish society. This gendered se…
Irish Babies, African Mothers: Rites of Passage and Rights in Citizenship in Post-Millennial Ireland
In June 2004, Ireland underwent a dramatic transformation when the citizenry passed a national referendum limiting access to citizenship by birth in unprecedented ways. At issue was Ireland's transition from a country characterized by emigration to one of net immigration. Among the immigrants to Ireland in this period were a certain number of pregnant African asylum seekers, who subsequently gave birth to children with rights to Irish citizenship…

Global Transactions: Sudanese Refugees Sending Money Home
This paper draws on ethnographic research in America and Ethiopia to explore the phenomenon of Sudanese (Nuer) refugee remittance from those in the diaspora to those who remain behind in Africa. Specifically it locates the unidirectional flow of cash within transnational flows of people, goods, and information. This multi-sited study explores the impacts of these transfers on both sides of the equation. It documents the importance of remittances …
Updating Images of South Sudan
In this essay, I compare and contrast two recent films that update the anthropological record on what has become of Nuer and Dinka people of southern Sudan by documenting their resettlement in the United States as refugees. Lost Boys of Sudan and A Great Wonder: Lost Children of Sudan Resettling in America trace the displacement of Sudanese youth by the civil war and their adaptation to U.S. life. Both films provide an alternative way of viewing …
