“…This work has long focused almost exclusively on Latina and Filipina migrants, highlighting a need for mothers to shift caregiving to other relatives and to create new meanings and methods of mothering. More recently, however, research on transnational African families has painted a different picture of long‐distance parenting, demonstrating that many African migrants build on traditional fostering strategies with little need to remake or redefine motherhood (Coe, 2011, 2013; Drotbohm, 2013; González‐Ferrer et al, 2012; Haagsman & Mazzucato, 2014; Mazzucato et al, 2017; Vives & Vazquez Silva, 2017). For some transnational African mothers, reliance on long‐distance mothering strategies bears a strong resemblance to mothering in their home country, where shared and collaborative childrearing is often the norm (Bledsoe & Sow, 2011; Drotbohm, 2013; Grysole, 2018; Vives & Vazquez Silva, 2017).…”

“…This research suggests fostering occurs in a context where childrearing does not always go hand‐in‐hand with childbearing (Goody, 1982; Page, 1989). As a result, mothers in sub‐Saharan Africa may not need to redefine motherhood as alternatives to day‐to‐day, “exclusive” mothering are already common and accepted (Vives & Vazquez Silva, 2017). Children may be fostered‐out due to family crisis or purposively to access education, provide domestic assistance, or strengthen kinship ties (Goody, 1982; Grant & Yeatman, 2014; Isiugo‐Abanihe, 1985).…”

“…However, the existence of this emotional bond is not enough to explain the role of mothers in understanding child migration. Indeed, among families from societies in which biological parents, including the mother, play a less central role in childrearing, child–parent separations were easier to deal with and were sometimes part of the families' migration strategies (Poeze & Mazzucato, ; Vives & Vazquez Silva, ). The secret of these transnational families lay in the quality of care arrangements they were able to put in place for children left‐behind: psychological well‐being was higher for those children which lived with the same caregiver while their parents were away (Mazzucato & Cebotari, ).…”

“…Many of these publications are based on data collected within the framework of the Migrations Between Africa and Europe project (Beauchemin et al 2015;Caarls/Valk 2017;Caarls et al 2018;Toma/Vause 2013;Kraus 2019). There are also some noteworthy qualitative studies examining female migration from Sub-Saharan Africa (Vives/Vazquez Silva 2017), gendered family migration processes in Southeast Asia (Fresnoza-Flot 2018;Parreñas 2005), as well as family migration in the regional context of Mexico and Central America (Dreby 2010;Schmalzbauer 2010;Baldassar/Merla 2014). Moreover, several studies examine partnership-related migration dynamics for the case of the 1950s-1970s Gastarbeiter ('guest workers') from Southern Europe and Turkey and subsequent generations, mostly in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium (González-Ferrer 2007;Guveli et al 2016).…”
