Global Care Work and Gendered Constraints
通过对41位波多黎各中产阶级跨国移民的深度访谈，研究性别如何制约全球照料工作，发现移民削弱了照料网络嵌入性却增强了其意义，女性感受更强烈，且情感调适策略失败导致进一步情感错位。
Through in-depth interviews with 41 middle-class Puerto Rican transmigrants, this research examines how gender constrains global care work. Migration compromises embeddedness in care networks, concurrently heightening its meaning. Women felt these effects more acutely than men given their primary responsibility for reproductive work. Migrants engaged in emotion work to cope with constraints, strategically rearticulating care work; yet unsuccessful strategies resulted in further emotional dislocation, particularly for women. Migration led to a dichotomy in which professional success was pitted against emotional fulfillment through care work. Gender, cultural, and geopolitical factors mediated this split, contributing to a permanently unsettled flow of migrants.
