This dissertation examines how first-generation Taiwanese immigrants in Southern California straddle their socioeconomic engagement in the host society and their family commitment to elderly parents in the country of origin, conceptually blurring the assimilation and transnationalism divide. Based on interviews, participant observation, and surveys, the dissertation explores the shifting conditions of eldercare from adult immigrants' perspectives. The findings demonstrate a typology of transnational caregiving on the basis of social class, including polymediated, outsourced, and unfulfilled care, as well as different levels of moral vulnerability embedded in immigrants' successes and failures in caregiving. I argue that a hierarchy of family resources has manufactured stratified settlement experiences within an ethnic group, and consequently stratifies the immigrants' changes in and resistance to cultural notions of filial duty after immigration. Also, immigrant women have distinctive forms of leverage to reconstruct eldercare transnationally based on their class circumstances. Hence, women's negotiations of gender roles in family care across borders are shaped by social hierarchies. In general, this work contributes to our understanding of the immigrant family by articulating social class, gender, and eldercare practices in the social processes of immigration.Subjects--Topical Terms:
