Transnational Families.

Press blurb:

   - Spanning three continents, the book develops the concept of
   -  migration-driven literacy learning to show how migration can
   -  promote digital literacy learning in transnational families
   - separated across borders
   - The book:
   - --Extends the social history of literacy by highlighting love and
   money as crucial historical and contemporary motivations for writing
   - --Addresses the human cost of family separation across borders and
   documents how family members negotiate separation in educationally valuable
   ways, thereby contributing to concepts of "funds of knowledge"
   - ---Complicates notions about brain drain to show how learning and
   knowledge often flow transnationally within family networks
   - ---Establishes that migration-driven literacy learning is experienced
   not only across distance, but also across time and history, as political
   borders shift
