This volume aims to address kinship in the context of global
mobility, while studying the effects of technological developments
throughout the 20th century on how individuals and communities
engage in real or imagined relationships. Using literary
representations as a spectrum to examine kinship practices, Lamia
Tayeb explores how transnational mobility, bi-culturalism and
cosmopolitanism honed, to some extent, the relevant authors'
concerns with the family and wider kinship relations: in these
literatures, kinship and the family lose their familiar,
taken-for-granted aspect, and yet are still conceived as
'essential' spheres of relatedness for uprooted individuals and
communities. Tayeb here studies writings by Hanif Kureishi, Zadie
Smith, Monica Ali, Jhumpa Lahiri, Khaled Housseini and Nadia
Hashimi, working to understand how transnational kinship dynamics
operate when moved beyond the traditional notions of the blood
relationship, relationship to place and identification with
community.
