Collective remittances, that is to say development initiatives carried out by immigrant groups for the benefit of their place of origin, have been attracting growing attention from both academics and policy makers. Focusing on hometown organisations, this book analyses the social mechanics that are conducive to collective transnationalism.

Recensioner i media

"This monograph synthesizes and builds on Lacroix's long-term research on three diasporas: Algerian Kabyles and Moroccan Chleuhs (both Berber subgroups) living in France and Indian Sikhs living in the United Kingdom. ... This book is rich and insightful, and I recommend it as a resource for migration scholars (faculty and postgraduate students, at least), both theoretically and empirically. For policymakers it points (correctly) to the ambiguities and downright muddle of policy toward migrants in both home and host countries." (Martin Evans, International Migrant Review, Vol. 51 (1), 2017)
