Abstract

This article explores how the case of refugee families highlights the challenges faced by migrant families, particularly in the experience of transnational fami-ly-making. The analysis is based on two different ethnographic research, (2014-2016) and (2017-2018), which collected qualitative data by means of semi-structured interviews with first-generation Kurdish refugees. The results show that the experiences of ‘forced migration' and ‘forced settlement' affect family relationships mainly at the affective (ties and relationships) and norma-tive (roles and expectations) levels, and that at each migration stage the com-bination of these spheres changes, weighing differently on family relation-ships.
