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.
