It makes them dream of other places, far away, where they feel certain they will find the happiness that eludes them at home. They dress up in their finest clothes on the day they become immigrants and wave goodbye to their families with tears in their eyes and hope bursting from their hearts. Then they set foot in a new land, full of illusions, and discover the discontents of globalization. But there is no turning back. They redirect their energies and work hard, so as to be able to return home one day in the not too distant future weighed down with all the material things they once longed for themselves. Using the methods of feminist ethnography, I want to try to offer fresh insights into women's immigration from the underdeveloped to the developed world. I will share a tale of two black Cuban sisters, one of whom emigrated to Poland, the other to Israel, to understand the temptations and broken dreams of women with global souls.
