Preview Ethnomorality of Care: Migrants and their Aging Parents
“ This excellent and fascinating book breaks new intellectual ground developing the concept of the ethnomorality of care to extend understanding of what Polish families think about, intend to do about and actually do about the care of ageing family members in the context of high rates of outward migration and low levels of state provision for elder care. Based on an ambitious research design composed of surveys, indepth interviews and ethnographic observations spanning Poland and the UK, Radziwinowiczówna, Rosińska and Kloc-Nowak offer the reader a rich body of data, which is presented in an eminently readable manner. Their insightful analysis will have resonance beyond Poland, particularly in other Central and Eastern European countries experiencing similar challenges related to rapid population ageing, high rates of emigration and social and economic transition.” – Majella Kilkey is Reader in Social Policy at the University of Sheffield and editor of F amily Life in An Age of Migration and Mobility : Global Perspectives through the Life Course “ This book is a highly original exploration of the complex negotiations of moral and practical issues faced by transnational families with ageing relatives. Through the skillful analysis of the multifaceted interrelations of beliefs, intended actions and actual practices of care we get a better understanding of the moral, relational and political challenges to local, national and transnational care arrangements. Ethnomorality of Care provides a much needed cohesive perspective in times of ageing migrating societies.” – Bernhard Weicht is Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Innsbruck and the author of T he Meaning of Care Ethnomorality of Care What happens when the parents of migrants age and need care in mobile and aging societies? E thnomorality of Care acts as a window in sharing how physical distance challenges family-centered elderly care by juxtaposing transnational families with nonmigrant families. A novel approach that explores intentions and moral beliefs concerning elderly care alongside practical care arrangements, E thnomorality of Care presents a concept of care that recognizes how various factors shape the experience of care, including national, regional and local contexts, economic inequalities, gender, care and migration regimes. Based on the findings of a multi-sited research carried out between 2014 and 2017 in Poland and the UK, this perceptive volume also seeks to demonstrate how researchers and practitioners can use the ethnomorality of care approach to examine nonmigrant families and other types of care. Helping readers to better understand the lived experience of care receivers and givers beyond kinship care, E thnomorality of Care will appeal to graduate students, researchers, policy makers and care practitioners interested in fields such as migration studies, transnational studies and social and cultural gerontology.
