Transnational Pakistani Connections: Marrying ‘Back Home’: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Transnational Pakistani Connections: Marrying ‘Back Home’" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Since restrictions on commonwealth labour immigration to Britain in the 1960s, marriage has been the dominant form of migration between Pakistan and the UK. Most transnational Pakistani marriages are between cousins or other more distant relatives, lending a particular texture to this transnational social field. Based on research in Britain and Pakistan, this book provides a rounded portrayal incorporating the emotional motivations for, and content of, these transnational unions.

The book explores the experiences of families and individuals involved, including the neglected experiences of migrant husbands, and charts the management of the risks of contracting transnational marriages, as well as examining the consequences in cases when marriages run into conflict. Equally, however, the book explores the attractions of marrying back home, and the role of transnational marriage in maintaining bonds between people and places. Marriage emerges as a crucial, but dynamic and contested, element of Pakistani transnational connections.

This book is of interest to students and scholars in the fields of migration studies, kinship/the family and South Asian studies, as well as social work, family law and immigration.

The book explores the experiences of families and individuals involved, including the neglected experiences of migrant husbands, and charts the management of the risks of contracting transnational marriages, as well as examining the consequences in cases when marriages run into conflict.

This book is of interest to students and scholars in the fields of migration studies, kinship/the family and South Asian studies, as well as social work, family law and immigration.
Katharine Charsley is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Bristol, UK. Her research interests are in gender, kinship and migration, with a particular specialism in marriage-related migration. Her edited volume Transnational Marriage was published by Routledge in 2012.

This book would not have been possible without the help and support of many people. Foremost are those who took part in the research, offering their time and, in many cases, their friendship. Acknowledging the contributions of participants to ethnographic research without undermining anonymity is difficult, but I wish to express my deep gratitude to you all. In addition, I am grateful to Fatima Jinnah Womens University (Rawalpindi), Aisha Gul Siddiqqi and family, Dr Humala Khalid and family, and Dr Humera and Sabih Rehman, for their help and hospitality in Pakistan, and to Russell and Cabeiri for their support. In Bristol, particular thanks are due to Dhek Bhal, the Bristol Pakistani Community Welfare Organisation (formerly the Bristol Pakistani Womens Organisation) and Aisha Ghauri (for research assistance).
At the University of Edinburgh, Prof. Patricia Jeffery and Prof. Janet Carsten provided thoughtful and inspiring doctoral supervision, and Prof. Tony Good was an excellent postdoctoral mentor. Staff and students in Edinburgh, Oxford and Bristol have provided productive and supportive environments in which to work. Doctoral funding was provided by the ESRC and an RAI/Sutasoma Award. Further research was enabled by the generosity of the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Oxford, and the award of a University Research Fellowship from the Institute for Advanced Studies, University of Bristol enabled the final push to bring the book together. I am also grateful to Crispin Bates, the editor of this series, for his encouragement and attention to detail. Parveen Akhtar and the anonymous reviewers for Routledge gave useful comments on drafts. My father, mother and brother have given me invaluable moral, intellectual (and financial) support throughout. Finally, of course, thank you to Jerry, and to Lewis who has provided additional inspiration in the last six years.
Parts of my original doctoral thesis were published as articles. Further research for this book means that most have been revised and updated. I am grateful to the journals for permission to reuse the sections that remain unchanged. These publications are:
