Lydia Potts & Ulrike Lingen-Ali 
Migrant Families and Transcultural Dynamics 
Resources, Gender Relations and Family Structures

Migration processes affect migrants’ families and family relations – in complex and diverse ways. Family fragmentation lasting for years or even decades, access to citizenship and welfare state resources change concepts of parenting and care as well as gender relations.
In this volume, authors from Europe, the MENA region and North America discuss the diversity and dynamics of migrant families, including the individual and collective challenges, strategies and agencies. They specially focus on gender dimensions and crisis intervention.
