“…A second direction for future research is built on the idea that transnationality is a key dimension of immigrants' aging and family experiences (Dossa & Coe, 2017; Lamb, 2002). Immigrants' parent–child relations are conditioned by their lifelong transnational movements and lasting cultural ties to sending communities.…”

The rapid aging of the immigrant population in the United States has drawn increasing scholarly attention to studying the kinship support networks of older immigrants. Despite the common stereotype of older immigrants as passive dependents of their families and the receiving society, this review highlights their active negotiations of ties to adult children as they manage family relations and secure old‐age support. After a brief description of the demographic profiles of the older immigrant population in contemporary United States, this article shows how international migration challenges the patterns and power dynamics of two major aspects of intergenerational relationships in adulthood—intergenerational exchanges and intergenerational conflicts. By presenting the diversity and variations of intergenerational relations in aging immigrant families, the author argues that research on older immigrants' family relations holds great potentials to contribute to the literature on immigration, family, and aging studies.

“…Por otra parte, no debemos olvidar que las mujeres migrantes que hoy en día están trabajando como cuidadoras en numerosos hogares españoles también envejecerán y necesitarán cuidados y que, de mantenerse el carácter transnacional de sus modelos familiares, habrá que pensar cómo hacemos frente a lo que se ha denominado "envejecimiento transnacional" (Ciobanu, Fokkema y Nedelcu, 2016;Dossa y Coe, 2017;Näre, Walsh y Baldassar, 2017;Horn y Schweppe, 2017). Ésta es precisamente una línea de investigación en alza entre aquellas que indagan en la intersección entre los cuidados y las migraciones (Escrivá, 2016;Moré, 2019).…”

Revista Internacional de Estudios Feministas en torno a los estudios de cuidados que lleva por título “Los cuidados en la encrucijada del cambio social”. En primer lugar, se presenta una contextualización en la que se resalta la relevancia de los cuidados para los estudios feministas y de género. A continuación, se emprende una revisión y síntesis de las principales temáticas que ha alumbrado el concepto de cuidados, desde la ciudadanía y el Estado de Benestar, hasta las formas de organización social y reparto de los trabajos o las políticas públicas en materia de cuidados; pasando por cuestiones emergentes tales como la participación de los hombres en estos trabajos, la relación entre urbanismo y cuidados o las implicaciones de la tecnología para los cuidados. Por último, se indica y contextualiza la relevancia y originalidad de las contribuciones contenidas en el monográfico.

“…In the case of Zanzibar, care spaces transgress not only the city but also national and continental borders by reaching to the Arab Peninsula, Europe, and the United States. Recent research in medical anthropology has shown a newly emerging interest in ageing and transnational care (Baldassar and Merla 2014;Dossa and Coe 2017), but this research is rarely connected to cities. I understand transnationalism 'as a social process whereby migrants operate in social fields that transgress geographic, political and cultural borders' (Glick Schiller, Basch, and Blanc-Szanton 1992, ix).…”

Shifting Urban Margins: Accessing Unequal Spaces of Ageing and Care in Zanzibar and Muscat

Older people constitute a growing proportion of the urban population and are encountered in all kinds of spaces and neighbourhoods across cities. This article argues that urban seniority and elderly care are a fruitful, new lens to study how inhabitants on the social margins create urban space and social cohesion. This article draws on ethnographic research in the cities of Zanzibar, Tanzania, and Muscat, the capital of Oman. Many older inhabitants of cities experience frailty, serious health problems, or even disabilities and are no longer able to work or make a living, which pushes them towards the social margins. The ethnographic examples and reflections in this article illustrate, first, how cities can be investigated from the perspective of social and spatial marginality. Second, they show how urban dwellers' social positions can shift between the margins and centres of an urban society depending on their health and access to unequal spaces of ageing and care. And third, the paper analyses how some elders respond to marginality by taking up transnational and cosmopolitan agency.
