2016 (English)In: Migration and Social Remittances in a Global Europe / [ed] Magdalena Nowicka; Vojin Šerbedžija, Palgrave Macmillan, 2016, 1, p. 191-210Chapter in book (Refereed)
Abstract [en]

This chapter deals with the global care chains running between the Basque Country of Spain and different localities in Bolivia. It particularly looks at how care is transacted as remittances within transnational family constellations. The resources for these transactions are obtained both through the paid care work migrant women undertake in their place of destination, and through the agency they exercise through their social relations. It is argued that agency in this context is more about maneuvering the structures in place within one’s life than overtly resisting them. To illustrate, the author draws on examples of how her informants use the very gendered and racialised elements of their disadvantaged emplacement within legal and sociocultural structures as ways to reach goals within their own ‘migration projects’.
