Transnationalism means many things to many people, from crossing
physical borders to intellectual ones. The Limits of
Transnationalism reassesses the overly optimistic narratives often
associated with this malleable term, revealing both the
metaphorical and very real obstacles for transnational mobility.
Nancy L. Green begins her wide-ranging examination with the story
of Frank Gueydan, an early twentieth-century American convicted of
a minor crime in France who was unable to get a fair trial there
nor able to enlist the help of US officials. Gueydan's odd
predicament opens the door for a series of inquiries into the past
twenty-five years of transnational scholarship, raising questions
about the weaknesses of global networks and the slippery nature of
citizenship for those who try to live transnational lives. The
Limits of Transnationalism serves as a cogent reminder of this
topic's complexity, calling for greater attention to be paid to the
many bumps in the road.
