Review Quotes:
"This volume constitutes an extremely valuable contribution to the growing but all too often inadequately grounded literature on transnationalism. . . . It is regrettable that so few academic publications aspire to shape debates both among empirically-oriented researchers in the core social science disciplines and among postmodernists in cultural studies and related fields. This book offers an important exception to this trend and exemplifies the significant advances that can accrue from sophisticated integration of theory and data drawn from various intellectual traditions and research methodologies."
