Entangled inequalities in transnational care chains : practices across the borders of Peru and Italy / Anna Katharina Skornia. - Bielefeld, Germany : Transcript, (c)2014. - 1 online resource (317 pages). - Global Studies .
Includes bibliographical references.
1. Introduction -- 2. Conceptualizing transnational care chains -- 3. Methodological framework for the study of transnational care chains -- 4. Peruvian emigration and the transnationalization of care practices -- 5. Peruvian migrants in the sector of home-based elderly care in Milan, Italy -- 6. The transnational care practices of Peruvian migrant women and men -- 7. Child and aged care in transnational household in Peru -- 8. Conclusion.
Based on a multi-sited ethnographic case study on transnational care chains between Milan (Italy) and Lima, Huancayo, and Cuzco (Peru), the book explores how social inequalities are reproduced through the care practices that follow the introduction of Peruvian migrants into home-based elderly care. Anna Katharina Skornia adopts an innovative approach in combining research on transnational care and migration with a perspective on entangled inequalities. In particular, the study sheds light on the role of state regulations in contributing to these inequalities as well as their ambiguous implications from the perspectives of both caregivers and receivers.
