Description - Transnational Marriage by Katharine Charsley
Transnational migration based on marriage has long contributed substantially to international mobility and has represented a major source of transnational engagement. Perhaps because such migration has often been treated as 'secondary' to labour migration, marriage has until recent years been a neglected field in migration studies. Exploring a previously neglected form of migration this timely volume brings together work from Europe and beyond, addressing the issue of transnational marriage from a range of interrelated perspectives, presenting substantial new empirical material, and taking a fresh look at concepts and theory in this area.
Exploring these relationships which sustain connections across borders and provide networks facilitating mobility, this book addresses several key themes in transnationalism studies: The encounter of transnational practices with nation-state (im)migration regimes; The consequences of transnational attachments for integration and identity; The dynamics of gender, power and visibility; The interrelatedness of apparently separate migration 'streams' when looked at from the perspective of the transnational social field (through the example of refugee migration). It will be of interest to students and scholars of migration, politics, sociology, geography and anthropology.
