Book Synopsis
Today's unprecedented migration of people around the globe in search of work has had a widespread and troubling result: the separation of families. In this book, the author offers a sophisticated examination of this phenomenon among Ghanaians living in Ghana and abroad.

Trade Review
"The Scattered Family is a highly engaging and well-researched book on a neglected topic that is sure to interest not only Africanist scholars but anyone interested in transnational migration and its effects on the family. Exploring the nature of family ties, particularly those between parents and children, among Ghanaians who have emigrated to the United States and Britain for work, Cati Coe contextualizes a host of carefully told narratives within the realm of immigration law and policy, addressing the lives of these migrants from a number of different, intriguing angles." (Jennifer Hasty, University of Pennsylvania)"
