Publisher description
This ground-breaking ethnography illuminates the theory and practice of 'aging in place' by examining the relationships between migrant live-in care-workers of older people in Israel, and their local employers and family members. Daniella Arieli begins her investigation with a discussion of her own experiences of employing a care worker from overseas for her mother and sets the book in its interdisciplinary context, while looking at how best to promote the health and wellbeing of both family members and carers. The two central sections of the book focus on interviews and discussions with care workers and family members respectively, with topics such as violence and abuse, trust and suspicion, transnational familial relationships, legal difficulties, personal transformations and cultural differences discussed. This book is an invaluable contribution to the literature on transnational care work and the movement of healthcare practitioners around the world. It is of interest to advanced students and scholars in the fields of nursing, anthropology, sociology, social work, geography and gerontology
