Each chapter and set of case studies demonstrates ways in which new and contemporary transnational practices of migrants are fundamentally transforming social, political and economic structures simultaneously within homelands and places of settlement.Transnationalism provides a much-needed single, clear and condensed text concerning a major concept in academic and policy discourse today.The book is for advanced undergraduate students, postgraduates and academics.Steven Vertovec is the author of 'Transnationalism (Key Ideas)', published 2009 under ISBN 9780415432986 and ISBN 0415432987.
