Transnational Families, Migration and Gender by Elisabetta Zontini
By linking the experiences of immigrant families with the increased reliance on cheap and flexible workers for care and domestic work in Southern Europe, this study documents the lived experiences of neglected actors of globalization - migrant women - as well as the transformations of Western families more generally.“…the book of Zontini makes an important and original contribution to studies of migration, gender, and transnationalismIt will certainly be of much interest to scholars as well as students working in these fields.” · Anthropos
“The book is inspiring in many respects…What stays with you after reading the book [are] the inspiring narratives of interviewed women…Personal biographies are thus the highlight of the book.” · Anthropological Notebooks
