Transnational youth and social mobility: The role of family financial support in unsettled lives
Sustaining caring mobilities in immobility regimes: Adaptive strategies of Vietnamese migrant (grand)parents in Australia
Conditioning grandparent care-labour mobility at the care-migration systems nexus: Australia and the UK
A ‘transnational turn’ in welfare regime theory has disrupted methodologically nationalist analyses of care regimes generating analytical frameworks that capture the interdependencies between care and migration regimes. Those frameworks share a focus on migration for paid care labour as the vehicle connecting care and migration regimes transnationally. In this paper, we highlight familial care-labour mobility as an additional mechanism connecting…
Transnational Families in Africa: Migrants and the role of Information Communication Technologies
Intimacy and Italian Migration: Gender and Domestic Lives in a Mobile World
This provocative collection of essays adds a new dimension to our understanding of nation-building through its examination of the role of intimate cultural processes. First, by exploring the private lives of migrants from Italy through biography, oral history, and ethnography, these essays suggest why and how—across cultures—Italianness has come to be associated with a particular kind of femininity and supposedly distinctive elements of domestic …
Native and Immigrant Entrepreneurship: Lessons for Local Liabilities in Globalization from the Prato Case Study
Chinese Migration to Europe: Prato, Italy, and Beyond
Through an analysis of Chinese migration to Europe, this volume examines the most pressing migration and integration issues facing many societies today, from the political and policy-based challenges
Refugee Protection and the Role of Law: Conflicting Identities
Sixty years on from the signing of the Refugee Convention, forced migration and refugee movements continue to raise global concerns for hosting states and regions, for countries of origin, for humanitarian organisations on the ground, and, of course, for the refugee. This edited volume is framed around two themes which go to the core of contemporary 'refugeehood' : protection and identity. It analyses how the issue of refugee identity is shaped b…
Transnational Families, Migration and the Circulation of Care: Understanding Mobility and Absence in Family Life
This chapter discusses the usefulness of situating the care circulation framework in a migratory context by discussing the interconnectedness between institutional contexts and capacity, obligation and negotiated commitments. The author shows that care arrangements that result from a dialectical relationship between these three elements are influenced by migrants and their kin's respective positioning in the migration, gendered care, welfare and …
Transnational Families and Aged Care: The Mobility of Care and the Migrancy of Ageing
This paper is an ethnographic exploration of a seldom-discussed ‘micro’ dimension of transnational studies, the practices of long-distance family relations and aged care. The importance of time as a key variable in transnational research is demonstrated through comparisons of the care exchanges of three cohorts of Italian migrants in Australia and their kin in Italy. A focus on ‘transnationalism from below’, the more quotidian and domestic featur…
