In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the poor socio-economic and political conditions in India facilitated the migration of both indentured and free or “passenger” Indians to Natal, South Africa. The latter unencumbered by contractual labour arrived under normal immigration laws and hence were referred to as “passenger” Indians. Whilst the “push” and “pull” factors of indentured Indians to some extent have been documented, this has been largely absent for “passenger” Indians. This article examines male-centred “passenger” Indian migration in the context of gender, the rural household and economy in western India in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This paper highlights that the male outmigration to a very large extent was governed by two factors: gender relations within the household and women’s role in the rural economy. Women were left behind in the towns and villages not because they were absent from the decision-making process during migration, but because their domestic activities were central in augmenting the rural household. This article obliterates the myth of the “passive” and “docile” female in historical migrations in the Indian diaspora by shifting the migration narratives from the traditional ports of settlement to the untapped ports of departure to acquire better insights to historical “push” factors that facilitated “passenger” Indian migration. It makes the colonial rural household, of which women were an integral part, the centre of analysis, thereby providing new perspectives on gender relations and how they shaped and influenced male-centred migration.
在19世纪和20世纪初,印度贫穷的社会经济和政治条件促进了契约和自由或“乘客”印度人向南非纳塔尔的移民。后者不受合同劳动的阻碍,根据正常的移民法抵达,因此被称为“乘客”印度人。虽然契约印度人的“推”和“拉”因素在某种程度上已经被记录下来,但这在很大程度上没有出现在“乘客”印度人身上。本文考察了19世纪和20世纪初印度西部的性别、农村家庭和经济背景下以男性为中心的印度“乘客”移民。本文强调,男性外迁在很大程度上受家庭内部性别关系和妇女在农村经济中的作用两个因素的支配。妇女被留在城镇和乡村不是因为她们在移徙期间没有参与决策过程,而是因为她们的家务活动是扩大农村家庭的中心。本文通过将移民叙事从传统的定居港转移到未开发的出发港,消除了印度侨民历史移民中“被动”和“温顺”女性的神话,从而更好地了解促进“乘客”印度移民的历史“推动”因素。它将妇女是殖民地农村家庭组成部分的情况作为分析的中心,从而为两性关系及其如何形成和影响以男性为中心的移徙提供了新的视角。

Renegotiating Gender Identities and Sexual Bodies: Zimbabwean Migrant Women’s Narratives of Everyday Life in South Africa 性别身份与性身体的重新谈判:南非津巴布韦移民妇女日常生活的叙述

A wide range of literature reveals that women in many African societies have historically been faced with the challenge of patriarchy and lack of freedom in their households—a challenge also mirrored in institutions of education, the economy, law and politics. This gendered position produces gendered inequalities which lead women to experience poverty more severely than men. The feminisation of poverty has over the years resulted in the feminisation of migration, which implies a change in women’s migratory identities and roles, where women are increasingly migrating as independent migrants rather than to rejoin male family members. Often, women migrate due to a desire for greater autonomy and a decrease in social restrictions on their productive and reproductive bodies. They also migrate to enhance their economic opportunities and seek new survival strategies in their endeavour to cater for their family’s needs and those that pertain to their being. It is against this backdrop that this article explores the experiences of migrant women and the strategies they employ as they, against all odds, renegotiate and reconstitute their gendered identities and sexual bodies in order to survive the complex realities of living in a “foreign” space. The article focuses on 15 Zimbabwean migrant women’s experiences of feminised poverty that pushed them out of the boundaries of their homeland, and the sexual and gendered livelihoods that emerged as part of their survival strategies in South Africa. As the article engages with Zimbabwean migrant women’s experiences prior to and after moving to South Africa, it is at work to illuminate how sexuality and migration shape and reshape one another. The article analyses the role of sexuality in gender and migration research that has not been given the pre-eminence it should in the Global South. Overall, the article reveals that the often subsumed and hidden role of sexuality in gender and migration research adds another complex layer of vulnerability to the bodies, identities and roles of Zimbabwean migrant women in South Africa.
大量文献表明,在历史上,许多非洲社会的女性一直面临着父权制的挑战,在家庭中缺乏自由——这一挑战也反映在教育、经济、法律和政治制度中。这种性别地位造成性别不平等,导致妇女比男子更严重地遭受贫穷。多年来,贫穷女性化导致移徙女性化,这意味着妇女移徙身份和作用的变化,妇女越来越多地作为独立移徙者移徙,而不是与男性家庭成员团聚。妇女移徙往往是由于希望获得更大的自主权和减少对其生产和生殖机构的社会限制。他们还移徙以增加其经济机会,并寻求新的生存战略,努力满足其家庭的需要和与他们自身有关的需要。正是在这样的背景下,本文探讨了移民女性的经历,以及她们在克服重重困难,重新协商和重建自己的性别身份和性身体时所采取的策略,以便在“异国”空间的复杂现实中生存下来。这篇文章聚焦于15名津巴布韦移民妇女的女性化贫困经历,这些经历将她们赶出了家园的边界,以及作为她们在南非生存策略一部分的性和性别生计。由于这篇文章涉及津巴布韦移民妇女在移居南非之前和之后的经历,它正在阐明性和移民是如何相互塑造和重塑的。这篇文章分析了性在性别和移民研究中的作用,这在全球南方国家没有得到应有的重视。总的来说,这篇文章揭示了性别和移民研究中经常包含和隐藏的性作用,这给南非津巴布韦移民妇女的身体、身份和角色增加了另一层复杂的脆弱性。

Transnational Habitus and Sociability in the City: Zimbabwean Migrants’ Experiences in Johannesburg, South Africa 城市中的跨国习惯与社交:津巴布韦移民在南非约翰内斯堡的经历

Drawing on field research and a survey of 150 Zimbabwean migrants in Johannesburg, this paper explores the dimensions of migrants’ transnational experiences in the urban space. I discuss the use of communication platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook as well as other means such as telephone calls in fostering the embedding of transnational migrants within both the Johannesburg and the Zimbabwean socio-economic environments. I engage this migrant-embedding using Bourdieusian concepts of “transnational habitus” and “transnational social field,” which are migration specific variations of Bourdieu’s original concepts of “habitus” and “social field.” In deploying these Bourdieusian conceptual tools, I observe that the dynamics of South–South migration as observed in the Zimbabwean migrants are different to those in the South–North migration streams and it is important to move away from using the same lens in interpreting different realities. For Johannesburg-based migrants to operate within the socio-economic networks produced in South Africa and in Zimbabwe, they need to actively acquire a transnational habitus. I argue that migrants’ cultivation of networks in Johannesburg is instrumental, purposive, and geared towards achieving specific and immediate goals, and latently leads to the development and sustenance of flexible forms of permanency in the transnational urban space.
通过实地调研和对约翰内斯堡150名津巴布韦移民的调查,本文探讨了移民在城市空间中的跨国体验的维度。我讨论了WhatsApp和Facebook等通信平台以及电话等其他手段在促进跨国移民融入约翰内斯堡和津巴布韦社会经济环境中的使用。我使用布尔迪厄的“跨国习惯”和“跨国社会领域”的概念来参与这种移民嵌入,这是布尔迪厄的“习惯”和“社会领域”的原始概念的移民特定变体。在运用这些布尔迪厄主义的概念工具时,我观察到,在津巴布韦移民中观察到的南南移民的动态与南北移民流中的动态不同,在解释不同的现实时,避免使用相同的视角是很重要的。为了使约翰内斯堡的移民在南非和津巴布韦产生的社会经济网络中运作,他们需要积极地获得一种跨国习惯。我认为,移民在约翰内斯堡培育的网络是工具性的、有目的的,旨在实现具体和直接的目标,并潜在地导致跨国城市空间中灵活形式的永久性发展和维持。

Migration, Mobility and Transnational Families: The Case of Indian Women Migrating to South Africa 移民、流动与跨国家庭:印度妇女移民到南非的案例

The history of labour migration to South Africa spans centuries. More recently flows of skilled and unskilled, documented and undocumented migration to South Africa have reached significant proportions. While men have predominated in the flows of migration streams to South Africa, the feminisation of migration has increased the visibility and role of women in the migration context. The impact of migration on the lives of skilled married women has been given little attention in the migration literature. Characterised as trailing spouses in the broader migration literature, the article explores, through a life-course framework, how skilled Indian women renegotiate their lives when leaving secure jobs to follow their spouses to a foreign country. Attention is given to how mobility is negotiated between the spouses, the impact of mobility on the family and the influence of transnationalism on the migrants and their families in South Africa. The article is based on exploratory research using qualitative in-depth interviews conducted with married skilled Indian women who migrated as co-dependents to South Africa.
劳动力向南非迁移的历史跨越了几个世纪。最近,有技术和无技术、有证件和无证件的移徙者流入南非的人数已达到相当大的比例。虽然男子在向南非的移徙流中占主导地位,但移徙的女性化提高了妇女在移徙方面的知名度和作用。移民文献很少关注移民对熟练已婚妇女生活的影响。在更广泛的移民文献中,这篇文章以尾随配偶为特征,通过一个生命历程框架,探讨了熟练的印度女性在离开稳定的工作跟随配偶前往外国时如何重新谈判自己的生活。重点是配偶之间如何协商流动性、流动性对家庭的影响以及跨国主义对南非移民及其家庭的影响。本文基于探索性研究,使用定性深入访谈对作为共同依赖移民到南非的已婚熟练印度妇女进行了调查。

Transnational Migration, Gender and Sexuality in the Global South 跨国移民、全球南方的性别和性
Pub Date : 2020-05-29 DOI: 10.25159/2412-8457/7346

Transnational migration reconfigures how we understand gender and migration in the broader field of migration studies. Globally, South to South migration is on the increase, with a decline in South to North migration as the rise in right-wing nationalism, racism and anti-immigration posturing grips nations in the Global North. While the Global North welcomes the migration of specific groups of skilled professionals where prospects offered by the labour markets exist, in contrast, less skilled workers and unskilled workers, actively supported by their governments, migrate to the Global South in the hope of securing employment prospects and education rather than face “underemployment” at home. The increasing mobility of women in South to South migration raises questions concerning how we understand temporal dimensions of mobility, and how migrants reconstitute and renegotiate their gendered identities and roles in their everyday lives.
跨国移民重新配置了我们在更广泛的移民研究领域对性别和移民的理解。在全球范围内,南向南的移民正在增加,随着右翼民族主义、种族主义和反移民姿态的兴起,南向北的移民正在减少。虽然全球北方欢迎劳动力市场提供前景的特定技术专业人员群体的移徙,但相比之下,技术较低的工人和非技术工人在其政府的积极支持下移徙到全球南方,希望获得就业前景和教育,而不是在国内面临“就业不足”。在南向南移徙中,妇女的流动性日益增加,这引发了一些问题,包括我们如何理解流动性的时间维度,以及移徙者如何在日常生活中重建和重新协商其性别身份和角色。

Digital Borders, Diasporic Flows and the Nigerian Transgender Beauty Queen Who Would Not Be Denied 数字边界,移民流动和尼日利亚变性选美皇后谁不会被拒绝

In 2011, Miss Sahhara, a transgender woman from Nigeria with UK refugee status, was crowned First Princess at the world’s largest and most prestigious beauty pageant for transgender women—Miss International Queen. The then Cultural Minister of Nigeria when contacted for comment responded that if she was transgender, she could not be Nigerian, and if she was Nigerian, she could not be transgender—a tacit denial of her very existence. In recent years, LGBT people “fleeing Africa” to the “Global North” has become a common media trope. Responses to this, emanating from a variety of African voices, have provided a more nuanced reading of sexuality. What has been absent from these readings has been the role of gender expression, particularly a consideration of transgender experiences. I understand transgender refugees to have taken up “lines of flight” such that, in a Deleuzian sense, they do not only flee persecution in countries of origin but also recreate or speak back to systems of control and oppressive social conditions. Some transgender people who have left, like Miss Sahhara, have not gone silently, using digital means to project a new political visibility of individuals, those who are both transgender and African, back at the African continent. In Miss Sahhara’s case, this political visibility has not gone unnoticed in the Nigerian tabloid press. Drawing on the story of Miss Sahhara, this paper maps these flows and contraflows, asking what they might reveal about configurations of nationhood, gender and sexuality as they are formed at both the digital and physical interstices between Africa and the Global North.
2011年,来自尼日利亚、拥有英国难民身份的跨性别女性萨哈拉小姐在世界上最大、最负盛名的跨性别女性选美大赛“国际小姐女王”上加冕为第一公主。当时的尼日利亚文化部长在接受采访时回应说,如果她是变性人,她就不可能是尼日利亚人,如果她是尼日利亚人,她就不可能是变性人——这是对她存在的默认否认。近年来,LGBT人群“逃离非洲”到“全球北方”已经成为一种常见的媒体修辞。对此,来自各种非洲声音的回应,提供了一种更细致入微的性解读。这些解读中缺少的是性别表达的作用,尤其是对跨性别经历的考虑。我理解跨性别难民走上了“逃亡之路”,这样,在德勒兹的意义上,他们不仅逃离原籍国的迫害,而且还重新创造或反对控制系统和压迫性的社会条件。一些离开的跨性别者,如萨哈拉小姐,并没有沉默地离开,他们利用数字手段在非洲大陆为跨性别者和非洲人的个人提供了新的政治能见度。在撒哈拉小姐的案例中,尼日利亚小报并没有忽视她的政治知名度。本文以撒哈拉小姐的故事为基础,描绘了这些流动和逆向流动,探讨了它们在非洲和全球北方之间的数字和物理间隙形成时,可能揭示的国家、性别和性取向的构成。

Career Development Barriers in the Post-Settlement Phase amongst Women Refugees: Implications for Human Capital Development 妇女难民定居后阶段的职业发展障碍:对人力资本发展的影响

South Africa has witnessed an increase in the number of refugees in the country. This could be due to the country being perceived favourably especially by refugees from the African continent. This study investigates the career development barriers affecting women refugees in the post-settlement phase and further ascertains the implications that these can have on human capital development. Calls have been made within extant literature to focus on the impact of the global refugee crisis and its implications for the career opportunities and experiences of refugees. A qualitative research approach was utilised based on the narratives and stories of 20 women refugees operating in Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Two main findings were found based on the data analysis. First, a range of barriers that relate to individual and contextual factors were found to affect refugees post-settlement. Second, the interacting nature of these barriers is illustrated and shown to affect individual agency as refugee women focus on the acquisition of basic commodities rather than long-term human capital development. The research suggests strategies that policymakers can adopt to assist women refugees not just with their career development but also integration in the host country. This study extends and advances the literature on the career development issues relating to vulnerable groups such as women refugees, particularly in developing nations such as South Africa. Further, the study makes suggestions for practice with wider ramifications that can assist women refugees during the post-settlement phase.
南非境内的难民人数有所增加。这可能是由于该国被认为是有利的,特别是来自非洲大陆的难民。本研究调查了安置后阶段影响妇女难民的职业发展障碍,并进一步确定这些障碍可能对人力资本发展产生的影响。在现有文献中,有人呼吁把重点放在全球难民危机的影响及其对难民职业机会和经历的影响上。根据在南非东开普省伊丽莎白港工作的20名妇女难民的叙述和故事,采用了定性研究方法。在数据分析的基础上发现了两个主要发现。首先,发现与个人和环境因素有关的一系列障碍会影响难民定居后。第二,说明了这些障碍的相互作用性质,并表明这些障碍影响到个别机构,因为难民妇女注重获得基本商品,而不是长期的人力资本发展。这项研究提出了政策制定者可以采取的战略,不仅帮助妇女难民的职业发展,而且帮助她们融入东道国。这项研究扩展和推进了有关妇女难民等脆弱群体的职业发展问题的文献,特别是在南非等发展中国家。此外,该研究还提出了具有更广泛影响的实践建议,可以在定居后阶段帮助妇女难民。

The research suggests strategies that policymakers can adopt to assist women refugees not just with their career development but also integration in the host country. This study extends and advances the literature on the career development issues relating to vulnerable groups such as women refugees, particularly in developing nations such as South Africa. Further, the study makes suggestions for practice with wider ramifications that can assist women refugees during the post-settlement phase.","PeriodicalId":297162,"journal":{"name":"Gender Questions","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127287763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intention of this article is to contribute to the understanding of how migration, with its effect of repositioning social class, shapes the care given to and the education of the children of migrant mothers employed for domestic work in South Africa. This article utilises a qualitative methodology and employs an evocative autoethnography to provide accounts of the lived experiences of migrant domestic work mothers in their involvement with their children’s education. The authors write about themselves and give a deeper insight into migrant domestic work mothers and how migration affected their children’s education. Bourdieu’s cultural capital approach is used to explore the multifaceted mechanisms and circumstances surrounding the authors’ experiences of balancing work as migrant mothers employed as domestic workers and involvement in their children’s education. The findings of the paper indicate that the nature of the work, i.e. domestic employment, affects the participation of mothers in caregiving and involvement in their children’s education. Further findings indicate that a mother’s active involvement in her children’s education contributes to successful achievements. It also emerged that children whose mothers are active participants in their lives and education do not struggle with their education. 
本文的目的是帮助理解移徙及其重新定位社会阶层的影响如何影响对南非从事家务工作的移徙母亲的子女的照顾和教育。本文采用定性方法,并采用一种令人回味的自我民族志来提供移民家庭工作母亲在参与子女教育方面的生活经历。作者写了自己的故事,并对从事家政工作的移民母亲以及移民如何影响她们孩子的教育进行了更深入的了解。布迪厄的文化资本方法被用来探讨作者作为移民母亲作为家庭佣工的平衡工作和参与子女教育的经历的多方面机制和环境。论文的研究结果表明,工作的性质,即家庭就业,影响母亲参与照顾和参与子女的教育。进一步的研究结果表明,母亲积极参与孩子的教育有助于孩子取得成功。研究还发现,如果母亲积极参与孩子的生活和教育,他们的孩子就不会为教育而苦苦挣扎。
