Routledge Ethnomorality of Care: Migrants and Aging Parents

What happens when the parents of migrants age and require care in mobile and aging societies? Ethnomorality of Care provides a window into how physical distance challenges family-centered elderly care. By comparing transnational families with non-migrant families, this work offers a fresh perspective on the realities of modern caregiving. This book uses a novel approach to study the intentions and moral beliefs surrounding elderly care alongside practical care arrangements. It presents a concept of care that recognizes how various factors shape the experience, including national, regional, and local contexts, as well as economic inequalities. For students, researchers, and professionals in anthropology and sociology, this text offers deep insights into the complexities of care in an increasingly mobile world.
