这篇文章探讨了伦敦一群库尔德妇女的养育工作，作为公民身份的体现。它没有关注她们的融入，而是强调了移民母亲破坏霸权公民叙事并催生新政治主体的能力。他们通过自己的养育工作，共同构建侨民公民身份，使孩子们产生英国人和库尔德人的文化认同。这些认同是偶然的，涉及合法库尔德文化的种族内部争论。库尔德移民母亲的文化工作不仅仅是培养民族国家公民。通过赋予文化连续性和变化以意义，母亲们提到了挑战国家界限的多重归属感（地方、国家和侨民）。文章表明，尽管母亲在构建孩子的文化身份及其在民族和民族方面的表达方面发挥着关键作用，但她们也对少数民族文化习俗和群体边界的意义提出质疑，这可能会破坏作为民族国家的良好公民的霸权叙事。
The article explores the mothering work of a group of Kurdish women in London as enactments of citizenship. Rather than focusing on their integration, it foregrounds the migrant mothers' ability to disrupt hegemonic citizenship narratives and bring into being new political subjects. They co-construct diasporic citizenship, through their mothering work, producing their children's cultural identifications as both British and Kurdish. These identifications are contingent, involving intra-ethnic contestations of legitimate Kurdish culture. Kurdish migrant mothers' cultural work is not simply about making nation state citizens. By giving meaning to cultural continuity and change, the mothers reference multiple levels of belonging (local, national and diasporic) which challenge state boundaries. The article shows that although mothers play a key role in constructing their children's cultural identities and their articulation in ethnic and national terms, they also contest the meaning of ethnic minority cultural practices and group boundaries, potentially disrupting hegemonic narratives of good citizenship as ethno-national.
