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.
