Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>New immigration restrictions in the United States and elsewhere in the 1920s and 1930s made legal entry dependent on specific kinship formalities. This article explores the impact of the new system through a study of British Caribbean migrants. Because family patterns and the place of church and state sanction within them varied greatly by class—here, as in many parts of the world—the result was a curtailment of mobility that affected elites very little, and working-class would-be migrants enormously. In order to elucidate<jats:italic>de facto</jats:italic>patterns of exclusion, the author concludes, historians of transnational labor must begin paying more attention to the work “family” does.</jats:p>
