With a broad geographical scope, Care across Distance explores the multiple ways in which care across regional and national borders materializes from and contributes to changes in political economy; family and intergenerational relations; religion and spirituality; ethics and responsibility; and personhood and subjectivity.

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.
