鉴于照顾责任是在各种情况下界定母亲身份的核心，妇女因移徙而长期与家庭分离，对她作为母亲和妻子的社会身份构成重大威胁。借鉴西方和齐默尔曼的“做性别”的概念和民族志研究的越南低工资的合同工在台湾，我提供了重要的见解的话语过程和日常做法的基础上，移民妇女的母性和女性气质的谈判。具体而言，我研究了各种方式的移民妇女执行和协商的意义hy sinh（自我牺牲）和chu u chuang（耐力）是越南女性的核心价值观。我强调，消除不好的母亲和失败的女性气质的耻辱，不仅仅是重申一个人的性别自我意识，而且是让她放心，让她在未来获得家庭的支持和照顾。本研究强调女性社会性别行为的意向性和实用性，凸显性别政治中的道德困境。
Given that care duties are central to the definition of motherhood across contexts, an extended separation from the woman’s family due to migration presents a major threat to her social identity as a mother and wife. Drawing on West and Zimmerman’s notion of “doing gender” and ethnographic research on Vietnamese low-waged contract workers in Taiwan, I provide vital insights into the discursive processes and everyday practices that underlie migrant women’s negotiations of motherhood and femininity. Specifically, I examine the various ways migrant women perform and negotiate meanings of hy sinh (self-sacrifice) and chịu đựng (endurance) that are core values of Vietnamese womanhood. Combating the stigma of bad motherhood and failed femininity, I emphasize, is not just about reasserting one’s sense of gendered self but also about reassuring her access to the future support and care of the family. The study emphasizes intentionality and pragmatism in women’s social doings of gender and highlights moral dilemmas in gender politics.
