Transmigrant Imaginings in Globalizing Conditions

ABSTRACT:Situated within a critical inquiry of globalization, in the transnational scholarly approach, migrants think, imagine, and behave as though they belong to their nation and the state of origin while building lives in the destination and becoming actively involved in both states and nations—home and host. One important theoretical contribution of transnationalism in the 1990s was to theorize how people "from below" are positioned within this global economic and political restructuring of capitalism from the 1980s (especially diverse groups of people with varying skill and class position in origin countries from the Global South moving to the Global North) and how these migrants actively craft cross-border connections. One master narrative of globalization is that place no longer matters because it can be easily traversed due to multiple forms of contemporary technology. However, this over-simplification of globalization neglects how these movements of people and capital impact places, a point addressed in recent studies of translocality.
