With technological innovation is on the rise and increasing migration introducing vast distances between family members--a situation additionally complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the requirements of physical distancing, especially for the most vulnerable - older adults--this is a pertinent question. Through ethnographic fieldwork among families of migrating nurses from Kerala, India, Tanja Ahlin explores how digital technologies shape elder care when adult children and their aging parents live far apart. Coming from a country in which appropriate elder care is closely associated with co-residence, these families tinker with smartphones and social media to establish how care at a distance can and should be done to be considered good. Through the notion of transnational care collectives, \u003ci\u003eCalling Family\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers the subtle workings of digital technologies on care across countries and continents when being physically together is not feasible. \u003ci\u003eCalling Family\u003c\/i\u003e provides a better understanding of technological relationality that can only be expected to further intensify in the future. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book is also freely available online as an open access digital edition.
