Abstract By describing the everyday lives of African migrant mothers and their children in Morocco, this paper highlights how migration and "immobility" in transit countries are gendering and gendered experiences. Relying on migrants' narratives, the paper demonstrates how migrants' transition to motherhood is shaped by their particular, fractured journeys. It shows how motherhood creates both specific and gendered spaces for agency and particular and gendered constraints upon agency that shape women migrants' mobility dynamics in space and time.
