Introduction

This book critically evaluates the transnational communities approach to contemporary international migration. It does so through a specific focus on the relationship between transnational communities and home.

Changing Meaning of Home

The meaning of home for international migrants is changing and evolving, as new globally-oriented identities are developed.

Central Themes

These issues are explored through a number of central themes: the meaning of home to transnational peoples, the implications of transforming these social spaces, and how these have been transformed.
