A Century of Transnationalism

""Immigrant men and women shape and maintain transnational, often locally embedded linkages, and statesmen utilize or frame such connectivity. Both sides engage each other to achieve familial and statewide goals, economic, political, and emotional ones. The authors masterfully weave specific analyses into a long endured perspective of transcultural relations.""--Dirk Hoerder, author of Cultures in Contact: World Migrations in the Second Millennium
