The Chapter 2 of the book Nation Unbound had explored the challenges faced by transnational migration phenomenon through introducing the 4 theoretical premises. These basically were assumptions that focused on the current connection of migrants to their home lands with their new country affiliation. It aims to clarify the loyalty and identity of immigrants. Certainly there are factors or conditions that can contribute to the success or failure of transnational migrations. It is noted here also the important role of migrants to the process of nation building among their own states and to the placed where they migrated. The chapter provided significant background information regarding the topic to help us analyze the situation more.
People are aware with the presence or surge of migrants to the US. This has made the country according to this book not just a stratified society but more of an open and plural society. This had brought prominent changes in the social and cultural landscape of America. Moreover, part of the task of the book is to understand the manner in which the terms of conceptual categories like race, ethnicity, nation and hegemonic constructions and transnational population are transformed by migration.
America is a nation of power and great influence by recognizing its impact around the globe. Like what the first premise stated, transnational migration is linked to global capitalism which I do agree. Global capitalism has changed societies and has led to the growth of transnationalism. The recent technological, economic and social changes have contributed more for migrants to adapt successfully to new societies does creating diaspora, hybridity and decentering in our present times. These all has contributed to what they call as deterritorialization of nation states as well dynamic changes to the transnational migrations.
Transnationalism has open questions regarding how these people have manage to stay connected to their own nations and also how well they respond to challenges and demands.
