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.
