Much of the terrain in American studies has been transformed in
recent years by a fundamental reconsideration of the relationship
among capitalism, the nation-state, and human migration. "Nation
and Migration "focuses on this disciplinary shift and offers a
contemporary understanding of the transnational circulation of
migrants and immigrants in a global economy.
In the first section, contributors evaluate issues of
citizenship and state power, examining the mechanisms through which
immigrants are regulated, restricted, and disciplined by state
institutions and agents. The next section presents differing
perspectives on transnationalism. This discussion is followed by
essays that address how migrants and migrant communities experience
their tenuous positions. The concluding section analyzes literary
representations of the entwined processes of imperialism,
globalization, and transnational migration.
Covering a broad range of nationalities and topics, the essays
that make up this book suggest that there are many borders to cross
in the new scholarship on nation and migration.
