The nature of population change challenges the conventional understandings of family forms and networks whilst multiculturalism poses challenges to our understanding of social change, families and social capital. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis innovative book provides an overview of the emergence of new understandings of ethnicities, identities and family forms across a number of ethnic groups, family types, and national boundaries. Based on new empirical data from fairly distinct sets of transnational family networks in minority communities with a substantial presence in the United Kingdom - principally, Caribbean and Italian, but also drawing on others such as Indian - it examines their lived experiences and uses the concept of social capital to explore how these families manage to maintain close and meaningful links. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTransnational Families\u003c\/em\u003e discusses, explains and illustrates the substantial problems and issues confronted by communities and families, academics and policy-makers\/implementers, and non-governmental organisations within a transnational world. It will be of interest to students and scholars of migration, transnationalism, families and globalisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harry Goulbourne,Tracey Reynolds,John Solomos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415468906\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415468909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Harry Goulbourne","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086607364351,"sku":"9780415468909","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ac0b6088-6e93-445f-a214-0a06024d5331.jpg?v=1769095661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/transnational-families-harry-goulbourne-9780415468909","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
