New Approaches to Migration?

This book critically evaluates the transnational communities approach to contemporary international migration. It does so through a specific focus on the relationship between ''transnational communities'' and ''home''. The meaning of ''home'' for international migrants is changing and evolving, as new globally-oriented identities are developed. These issues are explored through a number of central themes: the meaning of ''home'' to transnational peoples, the implications of transforming these social spaces and how these have been transformed.
