Citizenship practices among undocumented immigrant mothers: A comparative ethnographic case study in Flanders (Belgium) and France

Which citizenship practices for undocumented mothers? This is the central question of this study and argues that despite a position as legal and cultural outsiders this women are creating new practices of citizenship that go beyond nation, race and class. Through their mothering as care-work and daily encounters with others, the undocumented mothers create new hybrid identities and multiple belongings.
