This book charts the evolution of the relationship between Yugoslavia and its labour migrants who left to work in Western Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. It examines how migrants were perceived by policy-makers and social scientists and how they were portrayed in popular culture, including radio, newspapers, and cinema.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCreated to nurture ties with migrants and their children, state cultural, educational, and informational programs were a way of continuing to govern across international borders. These programs relied heavily on the promotion of the idea of homeland. Le Normand examines the many ways in which migrants responded to these efforts and how they perceived their own relationship to the homeland, based on their migration experiences. \u003ci\u003eCitizens without Borders\u003c\/i\u003e shows how, in their efforts to win \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A vivid and nuanced picture of the difficult choices faced by a state seeking to govern its citizens abroad and of the mixed feelings about the homeland that its citizens abroad developed … It will be of great interest and inspiration well beyond Yugoslav studies, in a world in which labor migration continues to be an important phenomenon.\" -- Sara Bernard, University of Glasgow * \u003cem\u003eSlavic Review\u003c\/em\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"A fascinating account of a complex social phenomenon … Citizens without Borders can be considered as the first systematic attempt to write about work migrations from Yugoslavia in general.\" -- Ondřej Daniel, Charles University * \u003cem\u003eAmerican Historical Review\u003c\/em\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e“An insightful, fresh, and fascinating perspective on the implications of transnational policies for socialist Yugoslavia and beyond.” -- Francesca Rolandi, Masaryk Institute * \u003cem\u003eAustrian History Yearbook\u003c\/em\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Illustrations  Acknowledgments    1.
