註釋In the rural Philippines, a scarcity of resources and opportunities has made migration to urban areas one part of family and household strategies for mobility and survival. The City Connection examines the ways in which families form networks of maintenance and support that span rural and urban areas. Based on Lillian Trager's observation of and interviews with persons both in Dagupan City and in their rural Philippine hometowns, The City Connection focuses on the stories of individual migrants and their families, setting these stories within the context of regional, social, economic, and cultural forces. Trager examines how households use their resources, connections, and information in the effort to make often minimal incomes slightly less minimal, and demonstrates how the continuing and complex interactions between socioeconomic situation, cultural values, and decisions and behavior of migrants and their families result in patterns of migration and continuing family ties.
