Reviews

"Salih raises the important theoretical issue of the role of gender in transnationalism, a neglected domain of research....Its most valuable contribution may be in raising questions about the ways in which subjectivities are shaped by belonging to multiple locales that are collapsed in time and space, and the ways in which our conventional models for understanding personhood and place-making are inadequate to capture the complexity of contemporary migrations."
