Overview
Families and Migration: Examining the Human Meaning of Migration provides a broad examination of immigrant families, with a particular focus on examining the human meaning of migration. Chapters analyze the complex interplay between migration and family dynamics across various global contexts, addressing key themes such as integration, cultural identity, mobility aspirations, and caregiving. This edited collection explores diverse case studies, including the integration perspectives of Ukrainian refugees in East Germany and the theoretical frameworks for understanding the family-migration nexus. It delves into the cultural significance of traditional clothing across generations, the mobility aspirations of young migrant descendants in Portugal, and the settlement experiences of a Bangladeshi family in Canada through arts-based ethnography. Further, the authors examine migration trends, policy implications, and well-being among transnational families in North America, and the caregiving experiences of Polish immigrants caring for individuals with Alzheimer's disease. Offering significant contributions to the field of migration studies by providing a nuanced understanding of how migration shapes and is shaped by family dynamics, Families and Migration: Examining the Human Meaning of Migration is an essential resource for anyone interested in the socio-cultural impacts of global mobility and the intricate dynamics of migrant families.
