Contents Introduction: kinship and care across Kosovo's borders -- Translocal foundations of a Kosovo village -- Migrant trajectories: shifting relations of translocal families -- Family roles in care across translocal households -- Home and investment: shifts in perceptions and their material manifestation -- Seeking a future and fortune: partner selection in a translocal space -- Weddings as affirmation of the translocal: family and kinship -- Realities of cross-border marriages: rearranging family and gender relations -- Conclusion: translocal family care: outlook and conclusion.
Summary "In today's globalized world, where the foundations of home and social security are destabilized due to wars and neoliberal transformations, the villagers of Kosovo are linked with a common locality despite living across borders. By tracing long-distant family relations with a special focus on cross-border marriages, this study looks at the reconfiguration of care relations, gender and generational roles among kin-members of Kosovo, who now live in different European states"-- Provided by publisher.
