About the Book

With contributions from some of Canada's leading historians, political scientists, geographers, anthropologists, and sociologists, this collection examines the transnational practices and identities of immigrant and ethnic communities in Canada. It looks at why members of these groups maintain ties with their homelands -- whether real or imagined -- and how those connections shape individual identities and community organizations. How does transnationalism establish or transform geographical, social, and ideological borders? Do homeland ties affect what it means to be "Canadian"? Do they reflect Canada's commitment to multiculturalism? Through analysis of the complex forces driving transnationalism, this comprehensive study focuses attention on an important, and arguably growing, dimension of Canadian social life. This is the first collection in Canada to provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary examination of transnationalism. It will appeal to scholars and students interested in issues of immigration, multiculturalism, ethnicity, and settlement.

Review :
Transnational Identities and Practices in Canada establishes the need for discussing ethnicity not just in relation to the Canadian nation-state (as it has been treated so far), but also in relation to the connections that ethnic groups maintain with other locations. In fact, each contributor points towards new directions for research that would offer a better understanding of transnationalism in the Canadian context. - Dana Patrascu-Kingsley (Canadian Ethnic Studies, Vol. XXXVIII, no. 2, 2006)
