| Abstract: | This collection of papers emanates from a conference on migrant families in Europe held at the African Studies Centre, Leiden, November 1999. Migrant networks, in the form of families, associational ties and social organizations, stretch across the globe, connecting cultures and bridging national boundaries. The book stresses the impact that transnationalism has on people's family lives and lifestyles. It includes the following contributions on Africa: Transnational families: imagined and real communities, by Ulla Vuorela (focusing on an Asian family that lived amongst others in Tanzania); Deceitful origins and tenacious roots: Moroccan immigration and new trends in Dutch literature, by Daniela Merolla (generational relationships in Moroccan immigrant families in the Netherlands are approached through the writings of Hafid Bouazza and Abdelkader Benali); Righteous or rebellious? Social trajectory of Sahelian youth in France, by Mahamet Timera; Religion, reciprocity and restructuring family responsibility in the Ghanaian Pentecostal diaspora (in the Netherlands), by Rijk van Dijk; Hybridization of religious and political practices amongst West African Muslim migrants in Paris, by Monika Salzbrunn; Senegal's village diaspora and the people left ahead (on the organization of Senegalese village-based communities in France), by Abdoulaye Kane. |
