Caribbean Journeys

An Ethnography of Migration and Home in Three Family Networks

Beschreibung

"In this nuanced, sensitive tracing of kinship across borders, Karen Fog Olwig reminds us that most often family ties are at the heart of why migration processes are transnational. An outstanding contribution to kinship, migration, and transnational studies, " Caribbean Journeys" is an excellent counterpoint to glib references to transnational or diasporic communities."--Nina Glick Schiller, coauthor of "Georges Woke Up Laughing: Long-Distance Nationalism and the Search for Home"
