Esta obra se presenta como un lugar de partida, un lugar sobre el que hacer pie y apoyar e incitar a la reflexión sobre ese enorme punto ciego en los estudios de los actuales procesos migratorios que son las condiciones y fundamentos epistemológicos que los hacen posibles. De este modo, asume la pretensión de dar qué pensar sobre algunos de los retos de carácter epistemológico con los que nos encaran las actuales movilidades y alteraciones sociales y, en particular, aquellas que hacen referencia a las migraciones transnacionales. El deseo que ha guiado, en consecuencia, su elaboración ha sido el de poner en obra y propiciar la interrogación sobre los supuestos o fundamentos científicos; el por qué se estudia lo que se estudia y la forma en que se hace; las estrategias de producción de información a las cuales se recurre; las categorías, nociones y términos de los que se hace uso en las observaciones y conceptualizaciones; y en definitiva, las implicaciones o los efectos que todos estos ...

The family lives of immigrants and ethnic minority populations have become central to arguments about the right and wrong ways of living in multicultural societies. While the characteristic cultural practices of such families have long been scrutinized by the media and policy makers, these groups themselves are beginning to reflect on how to manage their family relationships. Exploring case studies from Austria, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Australia, The Family in Question explores how those in public policy often dangerously reflect the popular imagination, rather than recognizing the complex changes taking place within the global immigrant community. In hoeverre allochtonen vrij zijn hun cultuur te uiten in de multiculturele samenleving staat bijna dagelijks ter discussie in de media en politiek. Vaak wordt vergeten dat ook migrantenfamilies zelf worstelen om hun tradities en gebruiken vorm te geven in een pluriforme samenleving waarin relaties met familie zeer complex kunnen zijn. In The Family Question worden migrantenfamilies in onder andere Nederland, Oostenrijk en Noorwegen onderzocht. Hieruit blijkt dat spelers op het vlak van beleidsvorming vaak toegeven aan populaire misverstanden over allochtonen en zo bijdragen aan de heersende xenofobie en stereotypering van immigranten.
