The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Handbook on Transnationalism by Brenda S.A. Yeoh, Francis L. Collins

Providing a critical overview of transnationalism as a concept, this Handbook looks at its growing influence in an era of high-speed, globalised interconnectivity. It offers crucial insights on how approaches to transnationalism have altered how we think about social life from the family to the nation-state, whilst also challenging the predominance of methodologically nationalist analyses.Encompassing research from around the world, leading international researchers examine transnational migration, culture, state practices, organisations and institutions. Chapters draw attention to conceptual concerns around the topic, including the spatiality and temporality of transnationalism, connections to the life course, and the articulation of affect and emotion across borders. The Handbook further explains the transnational dimensions of different forms of migration, including labour migrations and student mobilities, and emphasises why and how transnational networks and circulations matter.An engaging foundation for students and scholars seeking to enhance their understanding of transnationalism, this Handbook offers agenda-setting arguments that will be beneficial to researchers of migration and mobilities, human geography, sociology, anthropology, international relations and cultural studies. It will also be an interesting read for practitioners working in migration, migrant rights and transnational organising and activism.

Review

'In this rich compendium, Yeoh and Collins bring together leading scholars of transnationalism to look afresh at this important topic. Exploring both new empirical cases and new concepts, the authors provide novel insights into transnational relations and processes. This is a must-read book for those interested in cross-border interactions in the contemporary era.' -- Katharyne Mitchell, University of California, Santa Cruz, US'Since the turn of the millennium, transnationalism has gradually taken its place as a key concept in social science. This welcome new Handbook provides fresh overviews alongside critical advances concerning a range of ever-salient, if not increasingly significant, theoretical understandings of transformative cross-border phenomena.' -- Steven Vertovec, Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Germany'An up-to-date, invaluable mapping of the causes and consequences of social life across borders. The contributions to this volume go far beyond mobility and migration. They use a transnational lens to understand a range of institutions, processes, and relationships that have not been brought together before, including youth, labor unions, urbanization, and emotions. By doing so, they challenge fundamental assumptions about how identity, community, governance, and rights actually work in this early part of the twenty-first century. Theoretically rich and carefully argued, this Handbook is a welcome synthesis of this ever-more-present, dynamic understanding of social relations.' -- Peggy Levitt, Wellesley College, US'This is an invaluable collection of voices from the field of transnationalism research. The volume offers a rich new lexicon based on innovative case studies that will set the agenda for conceptualising transnationalism in years to come.' -- Parvati Raghuram, The Open University, UK
