This open-access book delves into the profound impacts and diverse experiences of family separation on forced migrants and their transnational families. It explores two interconnected aspects: the separation experienced by individuals with a forced migration background in Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America from their families, and the consequences that this separation has on family and kin in the countries of origin or transit. Through extensive research and rich empirical data, including unique cases about South-South migration, the book offers valuable insights into the intricate nexus between transnational family separation, forced migration, and everyday (in)security. Furthermore, it provides a comparative analysis to assess the effectiveness of relevant legislation and administrative practices in various national contexts. The findings in this book are of utmost relevance to academics, policy-makers, legislators, and practitioners in the fields of migration and refugee studies, as they shed light on the complex challenges faced by these individuals and their families.
