Combining household histories with national crisis dynamics—currency collapse, austerity, inflation, and political unrest—it explains why middle-class professionals and skilled youth are emigrating to Australia, New Zealand, and Europe. The analysis foregrounds shifting intergenerational obligations (“kinsurance”), the reorganization of care when adult children move abroad, and the liquidation of property once central to social reproduction. Contrasting earlier circular Gulf labor with contemporary exit, the paper shows how financial turbulence and governance failures reconfigure kin strategies, eldercare, and aspirations, producing deficits and transnational households.</p>","PeriodicalId":53591,"journal":{"name":"General Anthropology","volume":"32 2","pages":"15-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145327817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Testimonies such as “I am recovered” reject secular models like AA's “recovering addict” identity, emphasizing divine deliverance and rebirth. Victory Outreach's faith-based rehabilitation offers an alternative to incarceration while fostering dignity, belonging, and resilience for Latinx communities confronting addiction, structural inequality, and mass incarceration.</p>","PeriodicalId":53591,"journal":{"name":"General Anthropology","volume":"32 2","pages":"3-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145327820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
