- W220804966 abstract "Transnational Identities and Practices in Canada. Vic Satzewich and Lloyd Wong, eds. Vancouver: UBC Press, 2006. 352 pp. $85.00 hc; $34.95 SC. Fuelled by globalization and by technological advancements allowing for easier communication and transportation, transnational connections have been rising since the 1990s. This collection includes contributions from historians, political scientists, anthropologists, sociologists, and geographers attempting to better understand transnational practices in Canada: how they are affected by Canadian immigration policies and how they affect the practice of Canadian citizenship. In their introduction, the editors suggest that Canada's long history as host country for numerous and varied immigrants and its institutionalization of multiculturalism might have helped develop transnationalism, hence making the Canadian context particularly relevant to discussions of transnationalism. Transnational Identities and Practices in Canada discusses it from various perspectives, its interdisciplinary approach to the topic making the collection a valuable text for scholars of transnationalism from all disciplines. The collection is divided into two parts: the first offers a historical and political perspective on transnationalism, while the second, much larger part focusses on instances of transnationalism in contemporary Canada, discussing the specific examples of various ethnic groups. The concept is taken to refer to the connections that the immigrant generations particularly maintain across the borders of the Canadian nation-state, although there are some examples of second- and third-generation transnationalism, as well. Luis M. Aguiar, for example, suggests that there might be differences in how various generations construct transnationalism--differences that should be researched further. In the chapter entitled The Politics of Transnationalism: Comparative Perspectives, Sarah V. Wayland analyzes the connections between sending and receiving states and migrants, theorizing that state and non-state actors (p. 20) influence each other: migrants are influenced by the policies and practices of both the receiving and the sending states, and the migrants' contexts influence their transnational practices. She suggests, as do some of the other contributors to this collection that despite the belief that maintaining transnational connections lead to the immigrants failing to become integrated in the receiving state, there is actually some evidence to support the opposite view; that transnational practices may facilitate integration as migrants are driven to adopt Canadian citizenship and become politically active within the Canadian context so that they can lobby politicians and influence foreign policy. Some of the contributions in this collection discuss a revival of transnationalism in the contemporary Canadian context as being the result of the increased interest in ethnicity and of the shift in understanding immigration from being uprooted to having cross-border connections. …" @default.
