Childhood and Parenting in Transnational Settings Paperback / softback
Edited by Viorela Ducu, Mihaela Nedelcu, Aron Telegdi-Csetri
Part of the International Perspectives on Migration series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book describes children and youth on the one hand and parents on the other within the newly configured worlds of transnational families.
Focus is put on children born abroad, brought up abroad, studying abroad, in vulnerable situations, and/or subject of trafficking.
The book also provides insight into the delicate relationships that arise with parents, such as migrant parents who are parenting from a distance, elderly parents supporting migrant adult children, fathers left behind by migration, and Eastern-European parents in Nordic countries. It also touches upon life strategies developed in response to migration situations, such as the transfer of care, transnational (virtual) communication, common visits (to and from), and the co-presence of family members in each other’s (distant) lives.
As such this book provides a wealth of information for researchers, policy makers and all those working in the field of migration and with migrants. The chapter 'Afterword:Gender Practices in Transnational Families' is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license via link.springer.com.
