Transnational Migration and Home in Older Age (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Walsh, Katie; Näre, Lena

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on the impact of transnational migration on home in older age, providing new understanding of older people's lives by examining how their experiences of home are being transformed by transnational migration. Contributors explore innovative questions including: What impact does migration have on home-making in the lives of older people? How do journeys of migration, transnationalism and diaspora figure in this stage of the life-course and come to be reflected in experiences of aging at/in the home? How does home acquire new meanings through the employment of migrant workers and transformations in cultures of care?
