Offering a transnational perspective on the processes of identity
transmission and identity construction of mixed families in various
parts of the world, this book provides an overview of how local,
national, global contexts and inter-group relations structure the
development of specific forms of belonging and identification.
Featuring nine rich ethnographic studies situated in geographic
areas less covered by scholarship on mixed families such as Quebec,
Morocco, Italy, France, Switzerland, Belgium, the Philippines,
Thailand and Israel, the book's contributions reveal how families'
everyday lives are shaped by historical and sociopolitical
contexts, as well as by transnational dynamics and mobility
trajectories. The studies illustrate the context-specific realities
that shape social definitions of mixedness-whether religious,
national, cultural, ethnic or racial-at local and transnational
levels. The articulation of local and transnational perspectives on
mixed families will be of interest to students and scholars of
migration, transnationalism, families, ethnicity, race and racism
in the social sciences (anthropology, sociology, history, social
work, international relations and global studies). The book will
also be of interest to policymakers, as well as activists and
practitioners working in organizations offering services to mixed
individuals, migrants, and their families.
