Transnational Agency and Migration (eBook, ePUB)

Actors, Movements, and Social Support

Produktbeschreibung

Migrants, both spatially and mentally, no longer settle in only one national territory but interact or move across borders regularly, profoundly challenging the nation-state and the image of society as a container. This volume explores the ways in which migrants connect social worlds across national boundaries through a variety of social practices, and how they maintain agency in situations where their capacity to act is constrained by nation-states and their borders.
