During the past decade, transnationalism has entered the lexicon of migration scholars. As with other terms used in the study of immigration and ethnicity, this concept suffers from ambiguity as a result of competing definitions that fail to specify the temporal and spatial parameters of the term and to adequately locate it vis-a-vis older concepts such as assimilation and cultural pluralism. This article offers a review and critique of the ways the term has come to be employed at the hands of key spokespersons that have articulated the most sustained theoretical rationales to date for transnationalism as a conceptual construct to account for new immigrant identities and communities. The conclusion of the essay offers in schematic form an alternative assessment of transnationalism that locates it as one potential subset of assimilation theory, rather than as an alternative to it. |
