概要：Over the past twenty years, thousands of coastal Malagasy women have married French men and migrated to France. In the larger literature on migration, women’s migration through marriage is often  understood as a quest for upward mobility; a broad body of work insists on the importance of women’s active efforts to find husbands who live in wealthier parts of the world and migrate transnationally.  At the same time, work with women who have  actually successfully achieved transnational migration via out-marriage (that is marriage to someone of a different ethnicity/and or race) also note that women encounter considerable difficulties.  These tensions and difficulties raise the question of how it is that women actually manage to achieve power and authority through such transnational marriages.  In this talk, I propose that in order to succeed on their own terms,  women have to undertake what I refer to as the “labor of alignment” —that is the labor of joining different kinship structures across transnational space despite their disadvantaged position. I further discuss the implications of the labor of alignment for women’s husbands, their kin and subsequent generations.
