This book explores how Brazilian migrant women ''''''''do family'''''''' with their family members in Brazil. Of particular importance is their practice of family rituals and the giving of ritualist features to family practices to create and recreate a sense of familyhood, even while living at a distance for an extended period of time. The book, then, dialogues with transnational family studies that consider the significance and continuity of family relationships in the process of migration. My investig ation is framed by a qualitative methodological framework that includes a multi-sited ethnography at participant houses, biographical interviews and diaries. Fieldwork was carried out in the UK and in Brazil over 21 months, including thirty biographi cal interviews at the participants'''''''' houses in both locations, and seven daily diaries, reporting the Brazilian women migrants'''''''' daily interaction with their family members in Brazil. My analysis considers the process of ritualization of family l ife and the creation and recreation of family (in daily, weekly, monthly or annual events, or during the life-course). I show that ritualizing as a family involves a set of activities heavily encoded with symbolic and affective meanings as well as so me constraints which can influence the capacity and opportunity to practise them. I conclude that the process of ritualization of family practices done by the Brazilian transnational families in this study was especially important for them, in order to (re)constitute their sense of familyhood at a distance.
