    Open Access•Novotna Lucie, Pagogna Raffaella et al.•ARTICLE•International Migration•2026•References: 35

    This article examines how securitized governmentality shapes Czech migration policy, particularly for Vietnamese migrants.

  • Vietnamese Parents and Czech Nannies: Second-Generation Immigrant Children and their Educators

    Open Access•Adéla Souralová•ARTICLE•Journal of Education Culture and…•2020

    Many second-generation Vietnamese immigrant children in the Czech Republic are brought up by Czech nannies. While their parents are incorporated into the labour market in order to provide their children with suffi cient economic capital for their education, the role of caregivers is relinquished to nannies. Both parents and nannies become important actors in the children’s educational process, from the stage of acquiring fi rst words, through pri…

I draw on in-depth interviews with second-generation Vietnamese immigrants living in the Czech Republic, where they are very often raised by Czech caregivers.

    Adéla Souralová, Hana Fialová•ARTICLE•NORMA•2017•Cited by: 6•References: 41

    Research on transnational relations has been increasing over the last two decades. Since 1997, when the notion of ‘transnational motherhood’ was investigated by Avila and Hondagneu-Sotelo, many scholars have considered how parents arrange their parenthood across borders. This article explores how social scientists examine male migrants as fathers. We review empirical work on the migration of men and explore how transnational fatherhood has been e…

I review both empirical and theoretical work to shed light on what we know about children as care reci…

    Roma urban enclaves can be characterised as social peripheries or so-called excluded localities in which poverty and unemployment are concentrated. The separation of the Roma from the majority occurs both in the social space and in the educational system through the existence of sub-standard, low-demanding basic schools, where the majority of students are Roma. Both spatial and educational exclusion have become the subject of public debate, polic…
