Description:
Complex and uneven family geographies, and divisions between ‘family-absent’ and ‘family-dominated’ neighbourhoods, are emerging. A factor is processes of internal, long-distance family migration. To understand the linkages, theories of space and place need to be brought to the forefront of family migration scholarship. This is essential to integrate the effects of the geographic contingences of places of origin and destination, identifying how different gender, social class, sexuality and other relations are reconstituted and reproduced by family migration. Cooke’s (2008) proposal for the family to be effectively theorized within family migration needs to be extended to include a spatial turn.
