What are “Transnational Villages?”
• Actual migration is not necessary to be a member
• They emerge at least partially because of social remittances (the ideas behaviors and social capital that flow from receiving to sending communities)
• They create and are created by organizations that themselves come to act across borders
• They are studies in contrast
