Contemporary Western society is changing and, controversially,
migration is often flagged up as one of the reasons why. The nature
of population change challenges the conventional understandings of
family forms and networks whilst multiculturalism poses challenges
to our understanding of social change, families and social capital.
This innovative book provides an overview of the emergence of new
understandings of ethnicities, identities and family forms across a
number of ethnic groups, family types, and national boundaries.
Based on new empirical data from fairly distinct sets of
transnational family networks in minority communities with a
substantial presence in the United Kingdom - principally, Caribbean
and Italian, but also drawing on others such as Indian - it
examines their lived experiences and uses the concept of social
capital to explore how these families manage to maintain close and
meaningful links. Transnational Families discusses, explains and
illustrates the substantial problems and issues confronted by
communities and families, academics and policy-makers/implementers,
and non-governmental organisations within a transnational world. It
will be of interest to students and scholars of migration,
transnationalism, families and globalisation.
