Gender, Family, and Adaptation of Migrants in Europe: A Life Course Perspective de Ionela Vlase

Gender, Family, and Adaptation of Migrants in Europe: A Life Course Perspective

Editat de Ionela Vlase, Bogdan Voicu
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 iun 2018
This volume documents the life uncertainties revealed by migrants’ biographies. For international migrants, life journeys are less conventional or patterned, while their family, work, and educational trajectories are simultaneously more fragmented and intermingled. The authors discuss the challenges faced by migrants and returnees when trying to make sense of their life courses after years of experience in other countries with different age norms and cultural values. The book also examines the ways to reconcile competing cultural expectations of both origin and destination societies regarding the timing of transitions between roles to provide a meaningful account of their life courses. Migration is, itself, a major life event, with profound implications for the pursuit of migrants’ life goals, organization of family life, and personal networks, and it can affect, to a considerable degree, their subjective well-being.

Caracteristici

Applies the life course perspective in a comprehensive way that focuses on its interplay with migration, considering both the perspective of immigrants and the one of returnees
Uses biographic interviews that provide original and rich data and are specifically designed to give priority to the life course of migrants and returnees from an interdisciplinary, socio-anthropological perspective.
Addresses fields which were seldom or never addressed from a life-course approach, such as teenagers, or the effects of life satisfaction.
