Abstract:

Every day, more families span continents, cultures and languages to
raise cross-cultural children. Yet even as media brings us closer than
ever, travel restrictions and censorship remind us how fragile these
connections can be. Offering real-life stories, strategies and
activities, this book explores how diverse families use media, both
old and new, to bridge cultures and support their parenting journey.
We meet children who balance frequent moves with staying in touch with
a distant homeland. We encounter parents navigating multiple languages
under one roof. We hear from relatives determined to keep in touch
despite the challenges involved. We learn that media remains a vital
tool that helps all these cross-cultural families stay connected –
through shared recipes that conjure memories, video calls that span
time-zones, popular culture that reflects a family's blended identity,
and more. This is a book for anyone preparing for or living the
realities of cross-cultural parenting.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics
