There are a multitude of reasons for migration: war, natural disaster, famine, poverty, or political oppression, among others. Immigrants or immigrant families commonly face many challenges in starting a new life in completely different cultural contexts. This edited collection provides a broad examination of immigrant families, with a particular focus on the causes, processes and consequences of migration. Families and Migration: Examining the Causes, Processes, and Consequences of Migration sheds light on the emotional, social, and economic impacts of migration on individuals and families, highlighting key themes such as mental health, labor dynamics, transnational care, and cultural adaptation. The chapters explore various contexts, from the mental health challenges of unaccompanied Latino adolescents in the United States to the global mobility of middle-class families from Hong Kong. They delve into the labor experiences of Nicaraguan mothers in Spain, the transnational care practices of Romanian families during COVID-19, and the cultural navigation of interracial families moving from the UK to Zimbabwe. Chapters also examines the role of family in Vietnamese labor migration to South Korea and the temporality of Ukrainian refugees in Romania. This collection is a timely resource for scholars interested in migration studies, family dynamics, and the socio-cultural impacts of global mobility.
