As they moved beyond the Pacific and settled in nations such as New Zealand, the U.S. and Australia these practices intensified and over time have profoundly shaped both home and diasporic communities. This edited volume begins with a detailed account of this history and the key issues in Pacific migration and transnationalism today. The papers that follow present a range of case studies that maintain this focus on both historical and contemporary perspectives. Each of the contributors goes beyond a narrowly economic focus to present the human face of migration and transnationalism; exploring questions of cultural values and identity, transformations in kinship, intergenerational change and the impact on home communities. Pacific migration and transnationalism are addressed in this volume in the context of increasing globalisation and growing concerns about the future social, political and economic security of the Pacific region. As the case studies presented here show, the future of the Pacific depends in many ways on the ties diasporic Islanders maintain with their homelands.TransnationalismMigrations of nationsGlobalizationEmigration and immigrationfast(OCoLC)fst00908690Migrations of nationsfast(OCoLC)fst01020775Transnationalismfast(OCoLC)fst01154884Pacific AreaEmigration and immigrationPacific AreafastTransnationalism.Migrations of nations.Globalization.Emigration and immigration.Migrations of nations.Transnationalism.304.80995Lee Helen Morton1960-,Francis Steve TupaiMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQAuAdUSAUkMaJRUBOOK9910141774403321Migration and transnationalism2109082UNINA
