Beskrivning
This book discusses how human wellbeing is constructed and transferred intergenerationally in the context of international migration. Research on intergenerational transmission (IGT) has tended to focus on material asset transfers prompting calls to balance material asset analysis with that of psychosocial assets – including norms, values attitudes and behaviors. Drawing on empirical research undertaken with Latin American migrants in London, Katie Wright sets out to redress the balance by examining how far psychosocial transfers may be used as a buffer to mediate the material deprivations that migrants face via adoption of a gender, life course and human wellbeing perspective.

Recensioner i media

“Wright’s study offers implications for both theory and public policy. … Katie Wright’s study is undoubtedly important, but its empirical findings, in my view, are even more interesting and richer than the conclusion drawn from them in the book.” (Judith Kausch-Zongo, Intergenerational Justice Review, Vol. 7 (1), 2021)
