Migration is destructive to the nuclear family and wider village life, but it provides an opportunity for lineages to be mobilized for collective social action that is both local and translocal. This book aims to share experiences of people in Alma, a village in Kyrgyzstan, and how they created a ‘moral economy of migration’ that became territorialised as kinship was de-territorialised.
