Trade ReviewAn innovative and exciting book that has much to add to our understanding of international migration and citizenship. -- Steven J. Gold * author of Israeli Diaspora *
A pathbreaking collection that takes us a long way to understanding the effects of transnational migration on notions of national identity, state policies, and the strategies immigrants develop for becoming recognized as legitimate members of their new communities whether in the United States or other parts of the world. -- Leo Chavez * University of California, Irvine *
This ethnographic collection is an important addition to the literature on transnational migration and related issues of identity, citizenship, and belonging. The book's major strength is that it brings together material from the US and Western Europe, an approach that offers valuable insights not just on the range of immigrant experiences, but on the diversity of national contexts in which migrants find themselves. * Choice *
