Abstract
‘Transnationalism’ conjures up seemingly innumerable definitions, in part because its overall form changes as its influence shifts and incorporates additional spheres of daily life on global and semi-global levels. Despite a lack of consensus on a special rendering of transnationalism, frequent use of the term and scholarly interest not only persists but is increasing. The rapid growth of interest in transnationalism is in part a reflection of the ubiquity of this phenomenon, touching upon almost every aspect of contemporary life. Clearly, the twenty-first century will be characterized by more and not fewer transnational activities and identities.
