"These thought-provoking, poetic, critical, nuanced, heartbreaking, and diverse accounts of older people's complex roles in transnational 'kin-work' provide an important and understudied contribution to the wider field of Aging Studies." ? Annette Leibing, professor of medical anthropology at the Université de Montréal ?This book is bursting with engaging ethnographic and theoretical contributions from across the world and life course. It?s indisputable: aging and kin-work are critical frames for understanding transnational connections, disruptions, and meaning-making in today?s precarious global economy.? ? Caitrin Lynch, author of Retirement on the Line: Age, Work, and Value in an American Factory "An indispensable contribution to research on transnationalism, family relations and aging and a must read for anyone working on these topics. Apart from providing various ethnographic writings from different authors that describe their findings nuanced and rich in detail, the book enables the reader to gain new perspectives into the lives of aging migrants." ? Anthropology News " Transnational Aging and Reconfigurations of Kin Work reminds us of the importance of kinship studies in anthropology, making visible the notion of 'kin work,' that hitherto remained underexplored in transnational and aging studies.An essential and accessible book for academics in the social, human, and public policy sciences, as well as for any researcher or student who seeks to deepen their insights into the everyday processes of aging and care in transnational contexts." ? Anthropology & Aging.
