This book goes beyond existing studies that focus on one migration trajectory to consider multiple, complex African migrations, including internal movement, those moving to South Africa and those moving through it. Therefore, it challenges bureaucratic categories of migrants and complicates the existing narrative of migration in southern Africa. A must-read for those seeking to understand African migration in its global context. — Ingrid Palmary, author of Gender, Sexuality and Migration in South Africa These rich and complex accounts of African migrants and their families offer valuable new insights into the role of digital media in shaping experiences of migration and care. This book addresses an important gap in transnational family studies by highlighting the opportunities and challenges of migration, care and digital connection from African perspectives. —· Raelene Wilding, Associate Professor, Department of Sociology, La Trobe University This is the first book to capture the poignant stories of transnational African families and their use of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in mediating their experiences of migration and caring across distance. It foregrounds the importance of kinship and support from extended family, as well as both the responsibilities migratory family members feel and the experience of loss by those left behind. Across the diverse circumstances explored in the book are similarities in migrants’ strategies for keeping in touch, but also large differences in relation to access to ICTs and ease of use, which highlight the digital divide
and generational gaps. Transnational Families in Africa provides a groundbreaking contribution from the Globa) South to global debates on migration. Maria C. Marchetti-Mercer is a clinical psychologist and professor in the Department of Psychology, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. Leslie Swartz is a clinical psychologist and professor in the Department of Psychology, Stellenbosch University. He is the author of How I Lost My Mother (2021).
