About this book
Reviews
“This excellent and fascinating collection throws new light on contemporary family practices in a global context. By connecting the fields of migration, mobilities, and the life course, its contributions enhance our understanding of the temporal and spatial paradoxes between social and biological reproduction, cultural practices, and geopolitical privileges and inequalities.” (Fiona Williams, University of Leeds, UK)
“This timely book makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of how contemporary family life is being re-shaped by migration and mobility. The commitment of the authors to empirical depth and theoretical innovation, combined with wide-ranging and topical case studies, make it essential reading for migration and family researchers.” (Mary Gilmartin, Maynooth University, Ireland)
“This highly topical collection elucidates the varied effects of mobility on families. Addressing a variety of issues that have so far been invisible or overlooked in scholarly and public discourse, it is essential reading for everyone wanting to better understand the implications of mobility for power relations and vice versa.” (Krystyna Slany, Jagiellonian University Krakow, Poland)
“This important new collection uses a migration and mobilities, globalization, and life-course perspective to fundamentally challenge how we understand family life in this age of heightened mobility. By including cases from across the world, elucidating impacts on parents as well as children, and looking carefully at the effect of policy, the authors rewrite the book on family life in revealing and valuable ways.” (Peggy Levitt, Harvard University, USA)
