越来越多的学术机构记录了世界各地参与维持和发展跨国家庭的不同移民群体的经历，表明距离近不是家庭生活的先决条件，远距离可以成功地建立家庭。虽然大多数工作涉及劳工移民的经历，但对被迫移民的关注较少。对于那些未能跨国经营并因移民经历而四分五裂的家庭，人们仍然知之甚少。例如，我们何时才能说这种类型的家庭不能持续下去？这篇文章借鉴了跨国母性文献和宗蒂尼(2010)之前对南欧菲律宾劳工移民的研究，强调了影响跨国育儿的因素。然后，作者使用这个框架来探索一群在英国寻求庇护的津巴布韦母亲的经历。在这样做的过程中，作者指出了这一特殊群体的一些特殊性；突出了跨民族主义的不同影响，并有助于完善关于跨国为人父母的文献。
A growing body of scholarship has documented the experiences of different groups of migrants involved in the maintenance and development of transnational families worldwide showing that proximity is not a prerequisite of family life and that families can successfully be done from a distance. While most work deals with the experiences of labour migrants less attention has been paid to forced migrants. Still little is known about families that fail to operate transnationally and are broken by the migration experience. For instance, when can we say that this type of family cannot be sustained? This article, drawing on the transnational motherhood literature and on Zontini (2010) previous study on Filipino labour migrants in Southern Europe, highlights the factors that shape transnational parenting. The authors then use this framework to explore the experiences of a group of Zimbabwean asylum seeking mothers in the UK. In doing so, the authors point out some of the specificities of this particular group; highlighting the differentiated impact of transnationalism and contributing to refining the literature on transnational parenthood.
