- Abstract
- (en) Families and relations of care have recently emerged as central to analyses of globalization, highlighting the important role of kinship and emotions in international migration. In this chapter, we reflect on the intersections of care crises and care mobility, on the one hand, and the processes of globalization, on the other, in the construction and maintenance of transnational families. Through vignettes of transnational familyhood, we demonstrate the ways in which national and global forces and events generate complex strategies of resilience for migrants and the family they leave behind, who pursue opportunities and mitigate costs through family practices of remittances, mobility, and uses of technology.
