This book explores novel aspects of transnational family research
through the study of Romanian transnational families. A range of
topics are covered, including the impact of lodging type upon life
strategies; understudied elements in transnational relationships;
gender roles in transnational communication; multinational
relationships; the role of polymedia in the formation of couples;
and the lives of the children of Romanian transnational families.
The author presents the experiences of 'leavers' as well as of
'stayers'; of the 'highly-skilled' as well as the 'low-skilled';
that of women and that of men - through individual testimonies and
couple interviews. Romanian Transnational Families will be of
interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines,
including sociology, politics, anthropology and geography. Chapter

This book describes children and youth on the one hand and parents
on the other within the newly configured worlds of transnational
families. Focus is put on children born abroad, brought up abroad,
studying abroad, in vulnerable situations, and/or subject of
trafficking. The book also provides insight into the delicate
relationships that arise with parents, such as migrant parents who
are parenting from a distance, elderly parents supporting migrant
adult children, fathers left behind by migration, and
Eastern-European parents in Nordic countries. It also touches upon
life strategies developed in response to migration situations, such
as the transfer of care, transnational (virtual) communication,
common visits (to and from), and the co-presence of family members
in each other's (distant) lives. As such this book provides a
wealth of information for researchers, policy makers and all those
working in the field of migration and with migrants. The chapter
'Afterword: Gender Practices in Transnational Families' is open
access under a CC BY 4.0 license via link.springer.com.

Studies in this book have been gathered on the occasion of two
academic events in the field of Transnational Families, focusing on
the Eastern-European space, from a - diversified - qualitative
social research perspective. The volume places a special emphasis
on a gendered and practice-oriented approach, exploring territories
of domination and empowerment that inform the negotiation of
difference. Studies follow processes of emancipation, family
practices, redistribution of gendered roles, forms of abuse, social
remittance, confrontation between rights and cultures, forming
joint action strategies and egalitarian capital, in a process of
emergence of new social actors. Studies reflect back upon the
ambiguity of conceptual frameworks to be put to use while
approaching this yet unexplored area.
