Beskrivning
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.

Recensioner i media

"The multiple literatures on transnational processes and globalization have grown so fast that they threaten our ability to keep up. These literatures are also wildly uneven, as anyone who has waded into these scholarly waters can attest. Sanjeev Khagram and Peggy Levitt have thus performed an invaluable service by pulling together so many diverse and high quality pieces in a single volume. This is simply a "must" collection for anyone interested in understanding the complex and linked economic, political and cultural processes that are rapidly reshaping the world in which we live." -- Doug McAdam'The Transnational Studies Reader provides key groundworks underpinning the comparative analysis of globe-spanning social networks. It is an indispensable contribution to a burgeoning field.' - Steven Vertovec, Professor of Transnational Anthropology, University of Oxford
