TY - GEN AB - Newcomers moving away from the developing world find that migration is a good thing, letting them enjoy the benefits of residence in the developed world, some of which they send on to their relatives at home in the form of remittances. Residing in a democratic state, free from the long arm of their place of origin, emigrants mobilize to produce change in the homelands they left. Emigration states, in turn, extend their influence across boundaries to protect nationals and retain their loyalty abroad. Time, however, proves corrosive, and in the end most immigrants and their descendants become progressively disconnected from their home country, reorienting their concerns and commitments to the place where they actually live. --Provided by publisher AU - Waldinger, Roger David, CN - Harvard University Press CN - JV6033 DO - 10.4159/harvard.9780674736283 DO - doi ID - 728546 KW - Emigration and immigration.
