The limits to 'transnationalism': Bosnian and Eritrean refugees in Europe as emerging transnational communities
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-07, 17:18 authored by Nadje Al-Ali, Richard Black, Khalid KoserThis article explores limitations on the concept of transnationalism, through examination of two empirical case studies of communities characterized by emerging transnational practices. Mirroring recent shifts of attention in studies of transnational migration away from US-based examples of established migrant workers, the article focuses on Bosnian refugees in the UK and The Netherlands, and Eritrean refugees in the UK and Germany. It stresses the importance of historical context, and the interconnection of social, political and institutional factors in producing highly uneven patterns of transnational activities both within and between these two groups.
