This book offers a unique and innovative way of looking at the
paradoxical consequences of human mobility. Based on a three-year
transnational multi-sited longitudinal research project, it
demonstrates that not all migrants acquire, transfer and implement
social remittances in the same way. Whilst the circulation of
ideas, norms and practices is an important aspect of modernity,
acts of resistance, imitation and innovation mean that whilst some
migrants become ordinary agents of social change in their local
microcosms, others may contest that change. By putting this
individual agency centre stage, the authors trace how social
remittances are evolving, and the ambiguous impact that they have
on society. This thought-provoking work will appeal to students and
scholars of sociology, geography and anthropology.
