Beskrivning
This Handbook is a timely and critical intervention into debates on changing family dynamics in the face of globalization, population migration and uneven mobilities. By capturing the diversity of family ‘types’, ‘arrangements’ and ‘strategies’ across a global setting, the volume highlights how migration is inextricably linked to complex familial relationships, often in supportive and nurturing ways, but also violent and oppressive at other times.Featuring state-of-the-art reviews from leading scholars, the Handbook attends to cross-cutting themes such as gender relations, intergenerational relationships, social inequalities and social mobility. The chapters cover a wide range of subjects, from forced migration and displacement, to expatriatism, labour migration, transnational marriage, education, LGBTQI families, digital technology and mobility regimes.By highlighting the complexity of the migration-family nexus, this Handbook will be a valuable resource for researchers, scholars and students in the fields of human geography, sociology, anthropology and social policy. Policymakers and practitioners working on family relations and gender policy will also benefit from reading this Handbook.

‘The past few decades have witnessed important theoretical advances to previous understandings of how families weather and are central to engagement in global migration processes. At the same time, the world has changed in fundamental ways, including the introduction of new communication technologies and increasingly bifurcated possibilities for mobility between those with and without social and financial capital. Taking these changes as their starting point, the chapters in this handbook provide important insight for understanding contemporary transnational family life. Covering topics ranging from intimacy and home-making to professional and educational migratory flows to left-behind youth and temporalities and the life-cycle, this comprehensive volume highlights key intersections to pay attention to and continue exploring in order to better understand the complex social processes involved at the intersection of family life and global mobility regimes.’
