在菲律宾，劳动力迁移的急剧增加创造了大量的跨国移民家庭。现在，成千上万的儿童在父母一方或双方的陪伴下长大，因为父母被迫在国外工作，以便送孩子上学，让他们获得高质量的医疗保健，或者在某些情况下，仅仅为他们提供足够的食物。虽然跨国家庭的问题已经引起了很大的兴趣，但这本书是第一本近距离观察这些家庭中儿童生活的书。通过对留守家庭成员的深入访谈，作者考察了跨国家庭的两个维度。首先，她着眼于距离对代际关系的影响，特别是从孩子的角度。然后，她分析了这些家庭中的性别规范，以及这些规范在跨国家庭中的体现和违背。Parrenas承认地理上的分离不可避免地会造成家庭亲密关系的紧张，他认为维持传统的性别意识形态会加剧，有时甚至会造成困扰许多菲律宾移民家庭的紧张关系。
In the Philippines, a dramatic increase in labor migration has created a large population of transnational migrant families. Thousands of children now grow up apart from one or both parents, as the parents are forced to work outside the country in order to send their children to school, give them access to quality health care, or, in some cases, just provide them with enough food. While the issue of transnational families has already generated much interest, this book is the first to offer a close look at the lives of the children in these families. Drawing on in-depth interviews with the family members left behind, the author examines two dimensions of the transnational family. First, she looks at the impact of distance on the intergenerational relationships, specifically from the children's perspective. She then analyzes gender norms in these families, both their reifications and transgressions in transnational households. Acknowledging that geographical separation unavoidably strains family intimacy, Parrenas argues that the maintenance of traditional gender ideologies exacerbates and sometimes even creates the tensions that plague many Filipino migrant families.
