Question Description
A 200-word response that reveals direct engagement with the readings below. Consider in your response:
- How does transnationalism challenge the idea of “the nation” discussed last week? Is belonging to a diaspora or transnational community similar to or distinct from belonging to a nation?
- How does studying migrant networks help us to understand “the world as a single social and economic system?” (Schiller et al., 19).
- How do diasporas and transnational communities maintain a sense of shared identity or belonging?
Additionally, I encourage you to bring in outside examples, sources, or media as we explore these topics of trans-nationalism and diaspora.
