This dissertation investigates the pre- and post-migratory experiences of working-class African-Caribbean women from the English-speaking Caribbean who left their children in their home countries while pursuing better economic opportunities in Canada from the 1970s to the early 1990s. The author problematizes the intersectional relationship between female migrant labour, transnationality and motherhood within the rubric of globalized gender, race and class relations. Given the centrality of African-Caribbean women's worker-mother role in their societies, further exploration of this role within global migration is important in order to recognize its significant gendered impact on women's labour and familial relations on a transnational level.

This dissertation investigates the pre- and post-migratory experiences of working-class African-Caribbean women from the English-speaking Caribbean who left their children in their home countries while pursuing better economic opportunities in Canada from the 1970s to the early 1990s. The author problematizes the intersectional relationship between female migrant labour, transnationality and motherhood within the rubric of globalized gender, race and class relations. Given the centrality of African-Caribbean women's worker-mother role in their societies, further exploration of this role within global migration is important in order to recognize its significant gendered impact on women's labour and familial relations on a transnational level.

In order to examine the relationship between female migrant labour, transnationality and motherhood, four major questions are asked: (1) What challenges do female migrants face in a stratified domestic work sector across race, class, and national lines? (2) How do working-class African-Caribbean women negotiate their worker-mother role while forging racialized gendered identities amidst settlement and immigration uncertainties within Canadian society? (3) How do women utilize their kinship networks to support their families on a transnational level? and (4) How do women reconcile old and new ways of relating to their children during the reunification process?

Personal interviews with eighteen African-Caribbean women were conducted for this study. The methodology consists of a combination of feminist interview research and grounded theory informed by phenomenology. Some of the conclusions drawn from this study are noted. First, the structures of African-Caribbean families, through matrifocality and child-shifting practices, overturn normative Euro-American assumptions about the exclusivity of mother-child relations, thus laying the foundation for the occurrence and practice of transnational motherhood. Women supported their children from abroad by sending money, clothing, school supplies and other items to their households. Second, African-Caribbean women's worker-mother role challenges the divisibility of spheres based on a middle-class sexual division of labour that separates productive and reproductive activities along rigid gender lines such as a female, nurturer (private) and a male, provider (public). Finally, mother-child reunification depends on multiple factors such as immigration and sponsorship issues, finances, adequate accommodation, etc. within the host country.
