The construction of a ‘good house’ had become a preoccupation for seasonal-worker households in my fieldwork site of Lamen Bay on the island of Epi, and the small offshore Lamen island, by the time of my arrival in Vanuatu in November 2011. The day after I landed in Lamen Bay, my host mother, Mary,1 took me on a tour along the dirt road that looped around the settlement, pointing out the many new houses and more under construction. An educated local woman, Mary acted as an administrative agent for the largest recruiter of seasonal workers from Epi in New Zealand’s Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) temporary migration program. She told me later that she always urged the seasonal workers she recruited to build a ‘good house’, to install solar power and to prioritise their families with the money they earned overseas.
