Introduction: Theoretical Discussion, Method, and Argument Gender and Household in Migration: Toward More Processual Perspectives any anthropologists now recognize that global processes, such as refugee flight and labor migration, pose a challenge to conventional concepts of neatly-bounded cultural spaces (Hastrup and Olwig 1997; Stoller 1999, 2002). Feminists and anthropologists have recognized that labor migration has been an important part of globalization processes Cily & Society 2 0 0 2 , XIV(2):281-31 1. Copyright 2 0 0 3 by the American Anthropological Association City & Society (Bernard 1987; Kelson and DeLaet 1999; Knorr and Meier 2000; Robertson 1984). There is still the need, however, to examine more closely the impact of labor migration upon the cultural construction of gendered spaces or "domains" for women who remain at home while men migrate1. This essay explores the interconnec' tions among gender, labor migration, and household dynamics, and also offers a broader critique of spatial models of social/cultural life. In semi-nomadic Tuareg communities of Niger, West Africa, where many women enjoy traditionally high social prestige, economic independence, and visit and travel freely, most women remain home during men's labor migration. The few women who accompany their spouses tend to stay only briefly.
