TY - BOOK N2 - "Cities are key sites of the transnational ties that increasingly connect people, places, and projects across the globe. This book brings together a series of richly textured ethnographic studies that suggest new ways to situate and historicize transnationalism, identify new pathways to transnational urbanism, and map the contours of translocal, interregional, and diasporic connections not previously studied. The transnational ties treated in this book truly span the globe, giving concrete meaning to the phrase "globalization from below.""--Jacket.
