Churches and Charity in the Immigrant City: Religion, Immigration, and Civic Engagement in Miami
In addition to being a religious countryùover ninety percent of Americans believe in God--the United States is also home to more immigrants than ever before. Churches and Charity in the Immigrant City focuses on the intersection of religion and civic engagement among Miami's immigrant and minority groups. The contributors examine the role of religious organizations in developing social relationships and how these relationships affect the broader …

Theoretical and Empirical Contributions Toward a Research Agenda for Transnationalism 1
Transnational studies are playing a key role in illustrating this multiplicity. Transnational studies research "social, economic, cultural and demographic processes that take place within nations but also transcend them," that is globalization. The chapter discusses the work of the early conference planners and other scholars toward developing a useful research agenda for studying transnational migration. The introduction of radio and television …
Immigrant Sociocultural Adaptation, Identification, and Belonging
For over 150 years and motivated by mass rural‐to‐urban migrations precipitated by industrialization, social scientists have been studying the experiences of newcomers into established sociocultural contexts. They rightly hypothesized that people's identifications with their social groups, their feelings of belonging in particular, might be altered in societies where the scope and scale of social life rapidly expanded well beyond the face‐to‐face…

American value: Migrants, money, and meaning in El Salvador and the United States
Diverse Pathways to Immigrant Political Incorporation: Comparative Canadian and U.S. Perspectives
In both Canada and the United States, immigration is producing major demographic and sociocultural changes. Yet relatively little research has been devoted to the impact of immigration on each country's political life. Even less attention has been paid to comparing the patterns of immigrant political participation in both countries. This has left underinvestigated a host of important questions about the body politic of Canada and the United State…
Politics and Poetics of Migration: Narratives of Iranian Women from the Diaspora, by Parin Dossa
Gender Matters: Ethnographers Bring Gender from the Periphery toward the Core of Migration Studies
Ethnographers from anthropology, sociology, and other disciplines have been at the forefront of efforts to bring gender into scholarship on international and transnational migration. This article traces the long and often arduous history of these scholars' efforts, arguing that though gender is now less rarely treated merely as a variable in social science writing on migration, it is still not viewed by most researchers in the field as a key cons…
Toward a Transnationalism of the Middle: How Transnational Religious Practices Help Bridge the Divides between Cuba and Miami
It is eight o'clock in the evening on September 8, 2001, the feast day of Cuba's patron saint, Nuestra Sefiora de la Caridad (Our Lady of Charity). In her national shrine in the eastern Cuban town of El Cobre, thousands of pilgrims file past rum-sweetened revelers into the teeming, sultry sanctuary where the petite, gold-caped statuette of the virgin attends to their petitions throughout the night. Many come to ask her assistance to get a visa to…
Transnational Migration: Bringing Gender In
This article aims to bring gender into an even tighter transnational migration focus by broadening and deepening our original framework of “gendered geographies of power,” linking it more directly to existing and emerging scholarship. We examine and highlight previously neglected areas such as the role of the state and the social imaginary in gendering transnational processes and experiences. We identify topics that remain under-appreciated, unde…

Transnational Relationships: The Struggle to Communicate Across Borders
In transnational contexts, and particularly in situations where people have physically migrated across international borders and may be separated by other barriers as well, communication cannot be presumed and should be problematized. To date, however, research focusing on transnational migration has emphasized the kinds of ties people maintain despite corporal separation, such as negotiating transnational households and community associations an…
Constructing international relations: The role of transnational migrants and other non-state actors
This article explores the relationship between states and transnational movements of people through the trope of diplomacy. A standard definition of diplomacy is the conduct of negotiations between nations. From the normative perspective, international migration lies within the jurisdiction of diplomacy—often precipitating diplomatic crises—but is not usually viewed as constitutive of diplomatic relations. Likewise, such migration is widely ackno…
Engendering Transnational Migration: A Case Study Of Salvadorans
This article examines how transnational practices and discourses affect existing social identities and power relationships in a northeastern section of El Salvador that has become tightly networked to some of New York City's suburbs owing to years of migration. The author identifies various practices, discourses, and processes influencing gender relations and argues that transnational factors are a significant but not singular agent for change. C…

American dreaming: Immigrant life on the margins
This text chronicles the struggles of immigrants who have fled troubled homelands in search of a better life in the United States, only to be marginalized by the society that they hoped would embrace them. Sarah Mahler draws from her experiences living among undocumented Salvadoran and South American immigrants in a Long Island suburb of Manhattan. In interviews they describe their disillusionment with life in the United States but blame themselv…
