Recenzje

"A valuable contribution to wellbeing studies, notable especially for its novel attention to the ethical dimensions of wellbeing, especially in the context of Muslim women’s perspectives; and its illuminating analysis of the ways that wellbeing emerges or is blocked in the interplay between transnational families’ relations with each other, the wider communities, and the state(s)." - Sarah White, University of Bath, UK
