Summary/Abstract: Review of: Javiera Cienfuegos, Rosa Brandhorst, Deborah Fahy Bryceson (Eds.): Handbook of Transnational Families Around the World The Handbook of Transnational Families Around the World, edited by Javiera Cienfuegos, Rosa Brandhorst, and Deborah Fahy Bryceson (Cienfuegos et al., 2023), provides one of the most comprehensive and conceptually rigorous syntheses of contemporary scholarship on transnational family life. It situates transnational family dynamics within the broader transformations of globalization, migration, and care circulation, engaging with critical questions of inequality, belonging, and (im)mobility that have become central to sociological and anthropological inquiry over the last two decades. The volume’s overarching theme is the inseparable dynamic by which families generate and maintain social and material ties across borders – an entanglement of care and movement.
