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.
Approaching Transnationalisms: Studies on Transnational Societies,
Multicultural Contacts and Imaginings of Home 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.
