Rethinking European Kinship: Transregional and Transnational Families -- Chapter 1 The Historical Emergence and Massification of International Families in Europe and Its Diaspora -- PART I THE MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN EXPERIENCE -- Chapter 2 Mamluk and Ottoman Political Households: An Alternative Model of “Kinship” and “Family” -- Chapter 3 From Local Signori to European High Nobility: The Gonzaga Family Networks in the Fifteenth Century -- Chapter 4 Property Regimes and Migration of Patrician Families in Western Europe around 1500 -- Chapter 5 Transdynasticism at the Dawn of the Modern Era: Kinship Dynamics among Ruling Families -- Chapter 6 Marriage, Commercial Capital, and Business Agency: Transregional Sephardic (and Armenian) Families in the Seventeenth- and Eighteenth-Century Mediterranean -- Chapter 7 Those in Between: Princely Families on the Margins of the Great Powers—The Franco-German Frontier, 1477–1830 -- Chapter 8 Spiritual Kinship: The Moravians as an International Fellowship of Brothers and Sisters (1730s–1830s) -- PART II MODERNITY -- Chapter 9 Families of Empires and Nations: Phanariot Hanedans from the Ottoman Empire to the World Around It (1669–1856) -- Chapter 10 Into the World: Kinship and Nation Building in France, 1750–1885 -- Chapter 11 German International Families in the Nineteenth Century: The Siemens Family as a Thought Experiment -- Chapter 12 The Culture of Caribbean Migration to Britain in the 1950s -- Chapter 13 Exile, Familial Ideology, and Gender Roles in Palestinian Camps in Jordan, 1948–2001 -- Chapter 14 Mirror Image of Family Relations: Social Links between Patel Migrants in Britain and India -- Bibliography -- Notes on Contributors -- Index
Summary: While the current discussion of ethnic, trade, and commercial diasporas, global networks, and transnational communities constantly makes reference to the importance of families and kinship groups for understanding the dynamics of dispersion, few studies examine the nature of these families in any detail. This book, centered largely on the European experience of families scattered geographically, challenges the dominant narratives of modernization by offering a long-term perspective from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century. Paradoxically, “transnational families” are to be found long before the nation-state was in place.
