Chinese Transnational Families Care Circulation and Children's Life Paths
Lamas-Abraira, Laura
Chinese Transnational Families Care Circulation and Children's Life Paths - Taylor & Francis Routledge [Imprint] 2022 - 1 online resource - Routledge Research in Transnationalism .
Free-to-read
The research presented in this book explores care and its circulation in Chinese transnational families that are split between China and Spain, and the paths these families' children have taken through their lives so far: from their early years to their current position as young adults, with care, in its multiple dimensions and timescales - past, present and future - as the unifying thread. In doing so, it provides a contribution to the emerging body of research about care and transnational families and it posits the need to question hegemonic models of family, childhood and care, and to give voice and visibility to other actors, moving beyond the adult-centred perspective that dominates migration research. The ethnographic approach together with the focus on the day-to-day lives of these families, in which care is the core concept, as it permeates people's lives and traverses society generationally, makes this book appealing to both scholars and general public.
