Comparisons and Reflections on the Global Society Most studies on transnational migration either stress assimilation, circulatory migration, or the negative impact of migration. This remarkable study, which covers migrants from one Jordanian village to 17 different countries in Europe, Asia, and North America, emphasizes the resiliency of transnational migrants after long periods of absence, social encapsulation, and stress, and their ability to construct social networks and reinterpret traditions in such a way as to mix the old and the new in a scenario that incorporates both worlds. Focusing on the humanistic aspects of the migration experience, this book examines questions such as birth control, women's work, retention of tribal law, and the changing attitudes of migrants towards themselves, their families, their home communities, and their nation. It ends with placing transnational migration from Jordan in a cross-cultural perspective by comparing it with similar processes elsewhere, and critically reviews a number of theoretical perspectives that have been used to explain migration. 66 bACK COVER Arbeitsmobilität (DE-588)4068809-4 gnd Auslandsstudium (DE-588)4003788-5 gnd Braindrain (DE-588)4122087-0 gnd Diaspora (Religion) (DE-588)4012089-2 gnd Dorfgemeinschaft (DE-588)4131004-4 gnd Internationale Migration (DE-588)4162051-3 gnd Jordanier (DE-588)4257277-0 gnd Kulturanthropologie (DE-588)4133903-4 gnd Soziale Sicherheit (DE-588)4055732-7 gnd Transnationalisierung (DE-588)7612596-8 gnd Foreign workers, Jordanian Foreign countries Jordanian students Foreign countries Emigration and immigration fast Jordanien (DE-588)4028750-6 gnd Jordan Emigration and immigration Jordan fast BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 UESZ-20190227 nebis EN NEBIS UESZ UESZ ULESZ ESZ 065: 1480 NEBIS 100 1- Antoun Richard T. 1932-2009 (DE-588)1036657442 Verfasser aut NEBIS 490 0- New directions in anthropology v. 25 25 (NEBIS)001637856 265404827 NEBIS UZH50 EBI01 UESZ https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf_uzh50/5/UESZ_11321228_TB-Inhalt_006590554.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf SWISSBIB 28063840X
