Anotace

Recent research on migration pays particular attention to transnational family relations. Number of texts has been dealing with transnational organization of care-giving, transnational motherhood or transnational fatherhood etc. In these studies, the children are presented typically as those left-behind by their migrant parents. When it comes to the research on the second generation transnational childhood, we observe a little attention paid to how the transnational family relations are perceived by children themselves. The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of transnational grandchildhood which captures the meanings and practices of intergenerational family ties that children maintain with their grandparents in country of their origin. The paper draws upon the interviews with second generation Vietnamese children living in the Czech Republic. The paper should initiate a scholarly discussion about transnational intergenerational relationships between generations. This paper contributes to the research on children’s understanding of transnational kinship ties and transnational intergenerational relations with their grandparents.
