Between here and there... The transnational links of immigrants and descendants.

Summary Continuing advances in transportation and communication technologies facilitate the movement of people and information across nation-state borders, strengthening the ability of migrants to maintain sustained ties to their home countries. This leads some scholars to see them as central figures of transnationalism or "transmigrants. In her article "Varieties of Transnationalism and Its changing Determinants across Immigrant Generations: Evidence from French Data", published in International Migration Review, Mirna Safi uses data from the Trajectoires et Origines (TeO) survey produced by INED and INSEE to compare the transnational ties of two generations of immigrants. These links are broadly defined in reference to all types of practices and activities involving people, groups or spaces located outside France.
