摘要

Despite increasing interest in the study of Taiwanese migrants, the underlying concept and methodology remain gender-blind. Invisible from the Census are the women who emigrated with their husbands, leaving behind their adopted country to make a living elsewhere. Most of the 'astronaut wives' studied in this research are middle-class women who had careers in Taiwan prior to emigration, but became full-time home-makers upon arrival in Canada, the host country. The major questions raised for this research are: (1) What are the circumstances of migration for Taiwanese families? (2) How do Taiwanese 'dan qi ma ma'/'astronaut wives' cope with the challenges of the new environment? (3) How do they relate to their husbands, children, and the Taiwanese community during the process of adaptation? Thirty women from 'astronaut' families were interviewed in Toronto and Vancouver in 2005 and 2006, using a semi-structured questionnaire, ethnographic interviews, and participant observation methods. It was found that migration has not liberated them from the traditional familial roles in Taiwan, but has however enabled them to build new social networks that play an important role in their new lives.

(3)在适应过程中,他们与丈夫,子女和台湾社区有什么关系? 2005年和2006年,使用半结构化问卷,人种学访谈和参与者观察方法,在多伦多和温哥华采访了来自“宇航员”家庭的30名妇女。人们发现,移徙并没有使他们摆脱台湾传统的家庭角色,但是使他们能够建立起在其新生活中起重要作用的新的社交网络。
