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 book examines the needs, aspirations, strategies, and
challenges of transnational Muslim migrants in Europe with regard
to family practices such as marriage, divorce, and parenting.
Critically re-conceptualizing 'wellbeing' and unpacking its
multiple dimensions in the context of Muslim families, it
investigates how migrants make sense of and draw on different
norms, laws, and regimes of knowledge as they navigate different
aspects of family relations and life in a transnational social
space. With attention to issues such as registration of marriage,
civil versus religious marriage, spousal roles and rights,
polygamy, parenting, child wellbeing, and everyday security, the
authors offer national and comparative case studies of Muslim
families from different parts of the world, covering different
family bonds and relations, within both extended and nuclear
families. Based on empirical research in the Nordic region and
further afield, this volume affords a more complete understanding
of the practices of transnational migrant families, as well as the
processes through which family relations and rights are negotiated
between family members and with state institutions and laws, whilst
contributing to the growing literature on migrant wellbeing. As
such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology and social policy
with interests in migration and transnational communities,
wellbeing, and the family.

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.
