Nations Unbound: Transnational Projects, Postcolonial Predicaments, and Deterritorialized Nation-States examines how globalization is transforming the relationship between people, place, and nation. The authors argue that, rather than disappearing, nations are being deterritorialized and reconstituted in complex ways across transnational spaces. They introduce the concept of "deterritorialized nation-states" to describe how nations are becoming uncoupled from the bounded territory of the nation-state and reconfigured in new and often unexpected locations. Through ethnographic case studies of immigrant communities from the Caribbean, Latin America, and Asia, the book explores how deterritorialized nation-states shape the lives of transnational migrants. It analyzes how migrants maintain connections to their homelands through remittances, political activism, and cultural practices, while also forging new identities and communities in their adopted countries. The book challenges conventional understandings of nationhood and citizenship, arguing that these concepts are being redefined in the context of globalization. It offers a nuanced and insightful analysis of the complex interplay between transnationalism, postcolonialism, and the changing nature of the nation-state.
