This article focuses on rural girls' aspirations of becoming migrants in a setting where girls are subjected to social constraints curtailing their movements in the midst of an otherwise mobile society, where mothers and grandmothers frequently recall their experiences in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire, and boys set off on their first migration in their mid- or late teens. However, the high level of mobility affects both intergenerational relations and the ways in which girls can justify their wish to migrate. Based on multi-sited ethnographic research between 2002 and 2008 in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, the article explores the ways in which images of success and material wealth of (trans)national migrants feed into adolescent girls' imaginations of migration and its outcome.

A study examines accounting in a sugar refinery from 1900 to 1920 in two arenas of operation. The geography of accounting enabled the workers at Chelsea to have their working experience sequestered by the company. Accounting routinized their work at the refinery, enabling their labor to become monitored, empty of meaning, and, at times, overwhelming. The ideology of accounting provided the company with an instrument of evasion to silence the voice of labor and an instrument of self-deception designed to justify and insulate the authoritarian hierarchy of the company and the power of its Australian general manager, Edward Knox. Accounting became an ideology that sought to legitimate the exploitation of the workforce and the generous return to shareholders.

What is less developed in Transnational Ruptures is a theoretical understanding of the intersections that constitute the gendered aspects of migration. [Catherine Nolin] indicates that migration is gendered because women often follow the men (although this is not altogether true even in her data), they get different types of jobs, and men and women tell different types of narratives. Missing is an explicit linkage between the narratives and other relevant socio-political dynamics including class, race, and the politics of belonging in Canada. For instance, one of the interviewees describes that she feels "not specifically a Canadian, but one feels more part of Canada" when engaged in daily routines, including cleaning hotel rooms. Nolin interprets this as: "ALBA LUZ's [pseudonym] mind i...
