Descripción
Sumario:During the last decades the world has been facing tremendous political transformations and new risks: epidemics such as HIV/Aids have had a destabilizing effect on the caretaking role of kin; in post-socialist countries political reforms have made unemployment a new source of insecurity. Furthermore, the state's withdrawal from providing social security is taking place throughout the world. One response to these developments has been increased migration, which poses further challenges to kinship-based social support systems. This volume focuses on the ambiguous role of religious networks as providers of social security.
