- Abstract
Taking into account the historical perspective, I examine in this article the relation between a Hindu mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law within a migration network involving Diu (India), Mozambique, Portugal and England. My reflections are part of a research project on Hindu families in Mozambique, aimed at establishing a critical dialogue with those studies that see the Hindu family in Africa as a stronghold of identity for populations thought of as originally Indian. Inspired in the anthropological literature that emphasizes the time dimension of relational systems, I seek to underline, in the context of contemporary Mozambique, the flexibility of hierarchies in which married Indian women participate.
