	The Transnational Studies Initiative: Publications
		The Transnational Villagers explores the powerful social, religious, and political connections produced by migration between two locations--Miraflores, a town in the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica Plain, a neighborhood in Boston-- and the transformation of both places that results.
		Transnational phenomena and dynamics are the focus of a blossoming yet fragmented body of scholarship across virtually all sub-fields of sociology and closely related social science disciplines.
		Finally, we locate our approach to migration research within a larger intellectual project, undertaken by scholars of transnational processes in many fields, to rethink and reformulate the concept of society such that it is no longer automatically equated with the boundaries of a single nation-state.
