Recenzje

Full of resonating stories–from migrant parents torn apart from their children to family grudges that burrowed deep through the cracks of our modern digital communication—this is a powerful book about the everyday struggles of transnational families. Finely observed about the ambivalent possibilities for mediated connection in otherwise impossible situations, Earvin Cabalquinto's ethnography is a must-read for scholars, community organizers, tech designers, and policymakers interested in the well-being of economic migrants.
