‘The past few decades have witnessed important theoretical advances to previous understandings of how families weather and are central to engagement in global migration processes. At the same time, the world has changed in fundamental ways, including the introduction of new communication technologies and increasingly bifurcated possibilities for mobility between those with and without social and financial capital. Taking these changes as their starting point, the chapters in this handbook provide important insight for understanding contemporary transnational family life. Covering topics ranging from intimacy and home-making to professional and educational migratory flows to left-behind youth and temporalities and the life-cycle, this comprehensive volume highlights key intersections to pay attention to and continue exploring in order to better understand the complex social processes involved at the intersection of family life and global mobility regimes.’
