Abstract
Many Ugandan women are constantly moving around as part of their everyday efforts to make life continue. Based on fieldwork in southeastern Uganda in the past 15 years, examples are given of how women moving between relatives and temporary jobs obtain continuity in their lives while also attempting to break with previous relationships and contexts to embrace new situations and possibilities. It is suggested that we need to approach connection and disjunction, fixation and liberation as concurrent principles in the ongoing struggle for their own and their children's survival, in order to catch sight of the different kinds of networks and relationships that are at stake in people's lives.
