Pakistani migrant families in Denmark find themselves in a specific
ethno-national, post-9/11 environment where Muslim immigrants are
subjected to processes of non-recognition, exclusion and
securitization. This ethnographic study explores how, why, and at
what costs notions of relatedness, identity, and belonging are
being renegotiated within local families and transnational kinship
networks. Each entry point concerns the destructive-productive
constitution of family life, where neglected responsibilities,
obligations, and trust lead not only to broken relationships, but
also, and inevitably, to the innovative creation of new ones. By
connecting the micro-politics of the migrant family with the
macro-politics of the nation state and global conjunctures in
general, the book argues that securitization and suspicion-launched
in the name of "integration"-escalate internal community dynamics
and processes of family upheaval in unpredicted ways.
