Racialized citizenship, respectability and mothering among Caribbean mothers in Britain
Holy matrimony, nuclear family, attending church, education and good manners are typical markers of respectability. These Victorian middle-class ideological values were transported to the British Caribbean region after emancipation of slavery by missionaries and priests aiming to "civilize" the ex-slaves. As social values they were often transformed or met in opposition with a more complex set of cultural and social values within Caribbean creole…
Estratégias de valorização dos produtos da agricultura tradicional em Biguaçu, SC: Perspectivas de Mercado e conservação ambiental
A agricultura brasileira se desenvolve entre extremos: de um lado, sistemas retratados como de alta produtividade e eficiência e, do outro, sistemas tradicionais ditos de subsistência, muitas vezes estigmatizados como ineficientes e ambientalmente degradantes. Neste artigo, apresentamos uma discussão acerca da revalorização do sistema tradicional de produção denominado roça de toco, no Município de Biguaçu, SC. Apresentamos também as estratégias …
Practising kinship care: Children as language brokers in migrant families
Language brokering is an activity whereby children interpret and translate for their migrant parents who have not yet learned the language of the new country. The majority of the studies have been conducted among children and adolescents, primarily exploring the psychological and emotional impact on the child and the development of the parent-child relationship resulting from the activity. These studies report mixed results ranging from negative …
An academic and voluntary sector collaboration to facilitate relationship support for ‘mixed’ couples and families
Working paper reporting on a collaboration between academics and the voluntary sector that aimed to develop online relationship resources and training modules for the benefit of ‘mixed’ couples and their children, health and social welfare practitioners and support groups: ‘The Facilitating Relationship Support for ‘Mixed’ Couples and Families: A Collaborative Approach and Evaluation’ project
Challenging gender practices: Intersectional narratives of sibling relations and parent–child engagements in transnational serial migration
This article aims to contribute to the currently sparse literature on transnational families and gender. It focuses on the retrospective accounts of Caribbean-born adults who as children were serial migrants, joining their parents in the UK following a period of separation. It considers aspects of their relationships with their siblings and with their mothers and fathers. The article illuminates what the serial migrants viewed as contradictory ev…
Reconstructing Moral Identities in Memories of Childhood Language Brokering Experiences
Language brokering is a common phenomenon, whereby children of immigrant parents mediate both verbally and with written documents between their parents and other different language speakers or writers, converting meanings in one language into meanings in another. This paper explores some of the moral identities – the interplay between moral ideals and individuals' personal identities – adults construct from their memories of their activities as c…

She's always the person with a very global vision’: The Gender Dynamics of Migration, Narrative Interpretation and the Case of Jamaican Transnational Families
Migration and gender are two areas in which oral history and life story evidence has been recognised as having a special potential. The article begins with a review of social and historical research on migration, indicating that there has been a surprising lack of in‐depth research published on gender in migration. It then looks at the contribution of oral historians to this literature, and suggests that the focus on narrative styles may not alwa…
Evolving Jamaican migrant identities: Contrasts between Britain, Canada and the USA
This paper uses the evidence of life-story interviews with migrant members of transnational Jamaican families who have kin in Britain and North America as well as Jamaica. The interviews show that Jamaicans who go to the USA usually strongly maintain a straightforward Jamaican identity, rejecting identification as Americans. Migrants to Britain and Canada, by contrast, more often develop various forms of mixed identity. The paper suggest that the…
