Synopsis
Most studies on transnational migration either stress assimilation, circulatory migration, or the negative impact of migration. This remarkable study, which covers migrants from one Jordanian village to 17 different countries in Europe, Asia, and North America, emphasizes the resiliency of transnational migrants after long periods of absence, social encapsulation, and stress, and their ability to construct social networks and reinterpret traditions in such a way as to mix the old and the new in a scenario that incorporates both worlds. Focusing on the humanistic aspects of the migration experience, this book examines questions such as birth control, women's work, retention of tribal law, and the changing attitudes of migrants towards themselves, their families, their home communities, and their nation. It ends with placing transnational migration from Jordan in a cross-cultural perspective by comparing it with similar processes elsewhere, and critically reviews a number of theoretical perspectives that have been used to explain migration.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (4,475)
- h***h (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseIn the listing the condition was mentioned as 'Like new' which I think was not accurate. It is 'very good' or 'good' quality. As the photos taken just after receiving the book show, the front cover is damaged, and the book is kind of overall dented (if you open any random page, and touch the surface, it's not flat, rather wavy.) This doesn't meet eBay criteria for 'very good'.
- a***o (77)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseGreat seller,fast service,book was packaged well, very satisfied.
- i***i (84)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook was in good condition but not really “like new” as advertised. It has too much slight stains and creases on the exterior and inside a few pages to justify that description. But the book was reasonably priced so overall still a good value.
