Handbook on Migration, Mobility and Care

Thought-provoking and timely, this Handbook reframes care as a central, transnational and relational dimension of contemporary mobility.Expert contributing authors analyze how migration and mobility reorganize care across families, communities, markets, institutions and states. They present detailed and varied case studies from across the globe situating caregiving activities within broader global systems of labour and migration. Chapters explore care as practice, moral relationship, political obligation and global infrastructure, generating solidarities while reproducing and transforming inequalities. The volume features state-of-the-art overviews and new insights on key theories, concepts and methods in research on migration, mobility and care. Decentring perspectives from the Global North, this Handbook advances a justice-oriented agenda linking care in the context of migration and mobility to rights, redistribution and recognition.The Handbook on Migration, Mobility and Care is essential reading for scholars and students of sociology, anthropology, social policy, social work, human geography and development studies. It is also a vital tool for policy makers seeking to understand the dynamics of care in modern societies.
