Miami Money and the Home Gal

Abstract

Since the massive labor migrations of young adults from Haiti to North America and beyond that began more than two decades ago, protracted separation of husbands from wives and parents from children has caused severe hardship to the women left behind, especially to the mothers of young children. They suffer under the severity of the cultural commitment to patriarchy, yet they require for their survival their own economic autonomy. This article shows these contradictions as they are worked through in a dramatic event involving infidelity in a Haitian family compound.
