Description
Crossing the Gulf: Love and Family in Migrant Lives Pardis Mahdavi explores the complex relationships between migration, family, and state policy in this thought-provoking ethnography. Through intimate stories of migrants living in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Kuwait City, Mahdavi reveals how family bonds and emotional connections can both mobilize and immobilize individuals in their journeys. The lines between migration and human trafficking are often blurred, with policies frequently failing to acknowledge the lived experiences of migrants. This book sheds light on the mutually reinforcing forces that impact the lives of migrants and their loved ones, highlighting the need for more effective support systems.
