In today’s globalized world, where the foundations of home and social security are destabilized due to wars and neoliberal transformations, the villagers of Kosovo are linked with a common locality despite living across borders. By tracing long-distant family relations with a special focus on cross-border marriages, this study looks at the reconfiguration of care relations, gender and generational roles among kin-members of Kosovo, who now live in different European states.

Carolin Leutloff-Grandits is a Senior Researcher of Social Anthropology at the European University Viadrina. Her recent publications include the co-edited volume Migrating Borders and Moving Times (Manchester University Press, 2017) with Madeleine Hurd and Hastings Donnan.
