Abstract

In an ethnographic case study, gender and household relations are found to play in a Portuguese "community" in southwestern Ontario, Canada. The analysis focusses on the households of emigrants from the fishing town of Nazaré whose members also work in fishing in Canada. Comparison is made with the Canadian households of emigrants from the Azores and Trás-os-Montes. Emigrants from the three regions are found to be differently located in the Canadian economy and to maintain different ideals and practices in the reconstitution of household and gender relations in a transnational context.
