European colonial careers routinely displaced families across vast distances

Evidence

What is true is that under normal conditions, an interaction must exist between the family and society at large. The home is the basis of the truth of society, but society authenticates and legitimizes the family. The colonial structure is the very negation of this reciprocal justification. The Algerian woman, in imposing such a restriction on herself, in choosing a form of existence limited in scope, was deepening her consciousness of struggle and preparing for combat. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 230 (#expands, via linked claim)

Statistics collected during the 1930 Indies census estimated that three-quarters of those classified as European were of partial native origin. But this still does not speak to the destitution into which many people fell, or to the numbers of European men that completely cut their ties to their own children and companions who were swept back into the native quarters and bore no legally recognized European connection or trace. — Ann Laura Stoler, Along the Archival Grain_ Epistemic…, 896 (#exemplifies, via linked claim)
