Chinese Transnational Families

This insightful book examines the care dynamics in Chinese transnational families between China and Spain, focusing on children's experiences and perspectives.

This book delves into the intricate dynamics of care within Chinese transnational families, particularly those divided between China and Spain. It examines the various pathways that the children of these families have navigated throughout their lives, from their formative years to their current status as young adults. Central to this exploration is the concept of care, which serves as a common thread connecting the past, present, and future experiences of these families.

By presenting an ethnographic approach, the book highlights the everyday realities faced by these families, emphasizing how care permeates their lives and transcends generational boundaries. It challenges conventional notions of family, childhood, and care, advocating for a broader understanding that includes the perspectives of all family members, especially children. This focus on inclusivity aims to move beyond the adult-centric views that often dominate migration studies.

Ultimately, Chinese Transnational Families contributes significantly to the growing body of research on care and transnational family dynamics. It not only enriches academic discourse but also serves as a valuable resource for the general public, inviting readers to engage with the lived experiences of these families.
