The Ties that Bind: Money, Love, and Poverty in Twentieth Century Migrant
Correspondence
Presenter: Sonia Cancian, Concordia University
Abstract: Money and love have historically generated strong emotions among
families, including working-class and poor families. When we consider
migration movements of diverse ethnic groups in the twentieth century,
letters provide key written evidence on ways in which working-class and
poor families described and negotiated both of these powerful forces on a
short- and long-term basis. This paper explores how the combined notions
of money and love influenced families in transnational relationships and
vice-versa. We pay particular attention to the stayers, people who stayed
home and were involved in a relationship of some sort with a migrant. By
examining previously published and digitized letters written specifically
by Estonian, Croatian migrants and others available through the Digitizing
Immigrant Letters Project at University of Minnesota's Immigration History
Research Center, this interdisciplinary paper examines migrant family
letters using the two-fold approach of economic and qualitative analysis
of intimacy, gender, and socio-cultural relations drawing from economic
psychology, history of emotions, gender studies, and migration history.
Specifically, this paper looks closely at issues of language
(embellishment, silences, financial and emotional requests or appeals) and
power dynamics between writers that relate to both financial issues and
affect in the familial correspondence. Ultimately, we hope this paper will
provide a good grasp on the breadth of dynamics that poor and
working-class European migrants engaged in for love and money while trying
to secure more resources from their non-migrant loved ones in the
twentieth century.
The paper is co-authored by Sonia Cancian, Concordia University and Simone
Wegge, CUNY.
