Kurzfassung:
Worldwide migration has an unsettling effect on social structures, especially on aging populations and eldercare. This volume investigates how taken-from-granted roles are challenged, intergenerational relationships transformed, economic ties recalibrated, technological innovations utilized and spiritual relations pursued and desired, and asks what it means to care at a distance and to age abroad. What it does show is that trans-nationalization of care produces unprecedented convergences of people, objects, and spaces that challenge our assumption about the who, how, and where of care.
