Description
The Transnational Family is a book that looks at the transnational family as a global phenomenon. It discusses different cases of transnational families, and how they have been affected by globalization. It also discusses the problems that immigrants and refugees face when living in their new countries.
Living in a globalized world means understanding migrant networks - in the form of international families, associational ties, and social organization. The Transnational Family is the first comprehensive examination of this global phenomenon. From nineteenth-century transnational families emigrating from Europe to the present day Ghanaian Pentecostal diaspora in Europe, this book combines broadly based analysis with more unusual case studies to reveal the complexities that immigrants and refugees must contend with in their daily lives. What are the experiences of migrant Turkish women living in Germany? In what ways has religion been hybridized amongst West African Muslim migrants in Paris? What are the gender relations and trans-national ties among Bosnian refugees? Problems relating to immigrants' and refugees' situations in their adopted countries continue to grow. This book, wide-ranging in its geographical and thematic scope, is a highly important and timely addition to debates on transnational families, immigrants and refugees.
