Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ConclusionThis study provided ethnographic insights into the life worlds of Jamaican women in Montreal.In particular, the analysis of socio-cultural practices in relation to local appropriations of female spaces, home-making strategies and the maintenance of social networks on a local as well as a global level were important aspects of the ethnography.The ethnographic depictions of Jamaican women's lives in the city, their experiences and aspirations, as well as their strategic mobility to Jamaica have been proven an ongoing process of mediation and translation; for many women this becomes a steady cross-border as well as transcultural residential and livelihood pattern.Historically, Jamaican immigrants mainly migrated to Anglophone cities in Canada, the United States or the UK.The government in Quebec began to recruit nurses and domestic workers from the Caribbean as guest workers through the West Domestic Scheme from the 1950s onwards.This labour migration, mostly involving women from Jamaica, has so far received little attention in the academic literature on Quebec.Hence, this study offered a first approach to comprehend the motives, narratives, practices and perspectives of second and third generation Jamaican women in Montreal/ Quebec.The narrated biographies of five different women, together with the analysis of their current life situations, illustrated the importance of family relationships across time and space.Especially female relatives and their stories about the Jamaican homeland provided insights into socio-cultural affiliation, identity and highlighted the self-understanding of these Jamaican women.In the context of a 'multi-sited' ethnography (Marcus 1995), through actively accompanying the women on their journeys to their Jamaican homeland, strategic mobility perceived to be important.The temporary or final return to Jamaica turned out to be a life-long, multi-layered process that reveals the longing for childhood memories, traditions, places and people.The sustained and active social relations with family, friends and acquaintances across cultural, geographical and national borders has proven to be an important means to survive the dynamic process of return migration.The study gave access to a different geographical sense of Jamaican women, in which Montreal is an important old and new contact zone.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
