{"product_id":"9780674975507","title":"Cross-Border Connection","description":"International migration presents the human face of globalization, with consequences that make headlines throughout the world. The Cross-Border Connection addresses  a paradox at the core of this phenomenon: emigrants departing one  society become immigrants in another, tying those two societies together  in a variety of ways. In nontechnical language, Roger Waldinger  explains how interconnections between place of origin and destination  are built and maintained and why they eventually fall apart.“When  are immigrants ‘us’? When are they ‘them’? Waldinger implores readers  to reframe the debate from a before-after dichotomy to a new  transnational approach, revealing migrants to be here, there, and  in-between at all stages of their migration tenure…The book’s real  strength is in the elegance of the author's argument, supported by  evidence that transnationalism itself is not static but an ongoing  dialectic.”—R. A. Harper, Choice“The Cross-Border Connection  is to be commended for putting substance into the black box of  transnationalism, offering scholars a dynamic model to account for the  ebb and flow of transnationalism in the real world and yielding testable  propositions about the circumstances under which cross-border  connections can be expected to expand or contract.”—Douglas S.
