Expansion of transnational capital and mass media to even the
remotest of places has provoked a spate of discourse on
transnationalism. A core theme hi this debate is the penetration of
national cultures and political systems by global and local driving
forces. The nation-state is seen as weakened by transnational
capital, global media, and emergent supranational political
institutions. It also faces the decentering local resistances of
the informal economy, ethnic nationalism, and grass-roots activism.
Transnationalism From Below brings together a rich combination of
theoretical and grounded studies of transnational processes and
practices, discussing both their positive and negative aspects. The
editors examine the scope and limits of transnationalism. The
volume is divided into four parts: "Theorizing Transnationalism";
"Transnational Economic and Political Agency"; "Constructing
Transnational Localities"; and "Transnational Practices and
Cultural Reinscription." Contriburtors include Andre C. Drainville,
Josephine Smart, Alan Smart, Minna Nyberg S0rensen, George Fouron,
Nina Glick Schiller, Luin Goldring, Sarah J. Mahler, Linda Miller
Matthei, Louisa Schein, David A. Smith, and Robert C. Smith. Moving
easily between micro and macro analyses, this book expands the
boundaries of the current scholarship on transnationalism, locates
new forms of transnational agency, and poses provocative questions
that challenge prevailing interpretations of globalization.
Transnationalism From Below is a pioneering collection that will
make a significant addition to the libraries of anthropologists,
sociologists, international relations specialists, urban planners,
political scientists, and policymakers.
