Download or read book Care across Distance written by Azra Hromadžić and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-05-24 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World-wide migration has an unsettling effect on social structures, especially on aging populations and eldercare. This volume investigates how taken-for-granted roles are challenged, intergenerational relationships transformed, economic ties recalibrated, technological innovations utilized, and spiritual relations pursued and desired, and asks what it means to care at a distance and to age abroad. What it does show is that trans-nationalization of care produces unprecedented convergences of people, objects and spaces that challenge our assumptions about the who, how, and where of care.
