Summary

1. "Since 1970, millions of people around the world have come to reside in countries in which they were not born, and the United States now ranks sixth in the world among Spanish-speaking nations. This collection of essays explores many dimensions of these "identities on the move" in North America and the Caribbean Basin. The collection is interdisciplinary, with contributions from internationally known anthropologists, sociologists, literary critics, writers, psychologists, and economists - at least half of whom are, themselves, bearers of transnational identities."
2. "The most important contribution of this book lies in the delineation of new directions for social and literary analysis as the impact of the economic globalization and transnational processes is felt and incorporated into the national ideas of both sending and receiving nations. This book provides a glimpse of what the next century will look like."--Jacket.
