In recent years, 'transnationalism' has become a key analytical
concept across the social sciences. While theoretical approaches to
the study of global social phenomena have traditionally focused on
the nation-state as the central defining framework, transnational
studies views social experience as a complex and dynamic product of
multiple regional, ethnic, and institutional identities. Far from
being static or bounded by national borders, social, political, and
economic forces operate on supra-national, trans-regional, and
trans-local scales and scopes. Transnational studies compares and
contrasts these dynamics to rethink assumptions about identity,
sovereignty, and citizenship.
Assembling writings from some of the most important theorists in
history, politics, economics, sociology, anthropology, and cultural
studies, The Transnationalism Reader explores the ways that
transnational practices and processes in different domains, and at
different levels of social interaction, relate to and inform each
other. It also compares the spatial organization of social life
during different historical periods. Coherent in its vision and
expansive in its disciplinary, geographic, and historical coverage,
The Transnationalism Reader is a field-defining collection.
