This volume examines the ways in which bordering practices
influence the everyday lives of racialized parents in the changing
welfare states of Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Focusing on
the need to negotiate, adjust, and reconcile family life,
parenthood and parenting practices in the face of national,
material, ideological, cultural, religious, and moral borders, it
considers the manner in which these processes are complicated by
recent changes in the legitimation of Nordic welfare states. The
case studies centre on migrant, refugee, and asylum seeker parents,
as well as parents of the indigenous Sami communities. The book
considers the ways in which the welfare state and its services
construct borders of respectable parenthood, and examines the
efforts on the part of racialized parents to negotiate such borders
and organize their transnational everyday lives. Uncovering
possibilities and obstacles that exist for families seeking to
enact citizenship in the Nordic welfare states, Family Life in
Transition will appeal to social scientists with interests in the
sociology of the family, children, parenting, and the welfare
state.

This open access book examines the impacts and experiences of
family separation on forced migrants and their transnational
families. On the one hand, it investigates how people with a
forced migration background in Europe, the Middle East, and Latin
America experience separation from their families, and on the
other, how family and kin in the countries of origin or transit are
impacted by the often precarious circumstances of their family
members in receiving countries. In particular, this book provides
new knowledge on the nexus between transnational family separation,
forced migration, and everyday (in)security. Additionally, it
yields comparative information for assessing the impacts of
relevant legislation and administrative practice in a number of
national contexts. Based on rich empirical data, including unique
cases about South-South migration, the findings in this book are
highly relevant to academics in migration and refugee studies as
well as policy-makers, legislators and practitioners.
