Pamela Feldman-Savelsberg Orden de los libros

The massive scale and complexity of international migration today tends to obscure the nuanced ways migrant families seek a sense of belonging. In this book, Pamela Feldman-Savelsberg takes readers back and forth between Cameroon and Germany to explore how migrant mothers—through the careful and at times difficult management of relationships—juggle belonging in multiple places at their new country, their old country, and the diasporic community that bridges them.           Feldman-Savelsberg introduces readers to several Cameroonian mothers, each with her own unique history, concerns, and voice. Through scenes of their lives—at a hometown association’s year-end party, a celebration for a new baby, a visit to the Foreigners’ Office, and many others—as well as the stories they tell one another, Feldman-Savelsberg enlivens our thinking about migrants’ lives and the networks and repertoires that they draw on to find stability and, ultimately, belonging. Placing women’s individual voices within international social contexts, this book unveils new, intimate links between the geographical and the generational as they intersect in the dreams, frustrations, uncertainties, and resolve of strong women holding families together across continents. 

Wie gelingt es afrikanischen Migrantenmüttern in Deutschland, Zugehörigkeit zu erwerben? Pamela Feldman-Savelsberg zeigt, mit welcher Kraft diese Frauen Netzwerke bauen, die Grundsteine ihrer Identität werden: Hier tauschen sie Geschichten aus, die Leitlinien zur Überwindung vieler Hindernisse bieten und gleichzeitig zu einem rechtlichen Bewusstsein, einer Orientierung gegenüber den Behörden und den Regeln des Staates und der NRO beitragen. Anhand von inter-individuellen Besonderheiten wird zudem die Vielfalt afrikanischer Migration und der Gründung afro-deutscher Familien veranschaulicht.
