Förlagets beskrivning
The term "transnationalism" has gained considerable academic and popular
currency despite a lack of clear definitions, in part because its overall form
changes as its influence incorporates additional spheres of daily life on a
variety of scales and contexts. The purpose of this volume is to bring together
different perspectives on this phenomenon, using case studies that represent
some of the most current thinking on "transnationalism" in a wide range of
disciplines. Central themes which this book explores include legal and economic
reactions to transnational migration; the (re)negotiation of identities in the
context of changing national, social and cultural identities; and the emergence
of new imaginings of home and social space in transnational communities. The
text foregrounds powerful transnational forces crossing the boundaries of
nation-states, and at the same time, gives attention to the continued
significance of the nation-state and the diversity of localized reactions to
transnational challenges. The purpose of this volume is to bring together different perspectives on
this phenomenon, using case studies that represent some of the most current
thinking on "transnationalism" in a wide range of disciplines.
