Masculinities, Migration and Inter-Generational Relations

This book examines father-son relations and their role in the transfer of forms of masculinity and fathering practices. It also explores how far the psychosocial resources transferred from fathers to sons enable sons to navigate challenges in their everyday lives, particularly in contexts of disadvantage and marginalization. This study is a successor to an earlier book examining the inter-generational transfer of human wellbeing amongst Latin American migrant women and their daughters. By extending this analysis to the case of migrant fathers and sons this book explores the impacts of international migration on constructions of masculinity and fatherhood whilst investigating the utility of resources passed intergenerationally in a different social, political and economic environment.
