Reviews

“The book stands out through its comprehensive engagement with gender and generational dynamics. The author’s focus on the experiences of male migrants and perspectives of masculinities in a translocal context is particularly valuable. This emphasis provides a crucial intervention into transnational families, where male experiences have often been overlooked. With this in mind, the book is of great interest to anthropologists, sociologists, human geographers, and other scholars interested in dynamic accounts on transnational families and caregiving, masculinities and shifting gender roles in migration, translocal identities, and the impact of migration policies on experiences of migration from a dynamic perspective.” • Journal of Migration Research

“This book is based on careful and in-depth ethnographic research, and it expertly embeds its findings in patterns on broader historical and geographical scales. The book displays all the hallmarks of high-quality anthropological research.” • Stef Jansen, University of Sarajevo

Description

In today’s globalized world, where the foundations of home and social security are destabilized due to wars and neoliberal transformations, the villagers of Kosovo are linked with a common locality despite living across borders. By tracing long-distant family relations with a special focus on cross-border marriages, this study looks at the reconfiguration of care relations, gender and generational roles among kin-members of Kosovo, who now live in different European states.

Carolin Leutloff-Grandits is a Senior Researcher of Social Anthropology at the European University Viadrina. Her recent publications include the co-edited volume Migrating Borders and Moving Times (Manchester University Press, 2017) with Madeleine Hurd and Hastings Donnan.
