Rezension

"The multiple literatures on transnational processes and globalization have grown so fast that they threaten our ability to keep up.  These literatures are also wildly uneven, as anyone who has waded into these scholarly waters can attest.  Sanjeev Khagram and Peggy Levitt have thus performed an invaluable service by pulling together so many diverse and high quality pieces in a single volume.  This is simply a "must" collection for anyone interested in understanding the complex and linked economic, political and cultural processes that are rapidly reshaping the world in which we live." -- Doug McAdam

'The Transnational Studies Reader provides key groundworks underpinning the comparative analysis of globe-spanning social networks. It is an indispensable contribution to a burgeoning field.' - Steven Vertovec, Professor of Transnational Anthropology, University of Oxford
