Offering an anthropological perspective, this book delves into migration and transnationalism through both macro and micro lenses. Brettell draws on her extensive fieldwork in Portugal and beyond to explore critical themes such as immigrant incorporation, the effects on individuals and communities, illegal immigration, and ethnic entrepreneurship. She also examines the roles of gender and religion in migration, as well as the significance of oral histories in shaping social boundaries. This work is essential for scholars in various fields including anthropology and sociology.
