Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This research examines the Jamaican Mothers' experience of moving without documentation to the United States, namely to South Florida, in order to unmask the cross-cultural struggles of transnational families. Two women that have made the journey from Jamaica to South Florida without documentation were interviewed to answer the research question: What hardships do these women face after moving from their native Jamaica to the receiving country of the United States? Grounded Analysis was used in this study, creating an illuminating investigation of transnational familial relations and the hardships of migrant mothers. These mothers often have false expectations of their receiving country and of their status in receiving communities, and it is shown that these women are often forced to change their views in order to survive.
