Combining history, autobiography, and ethnography, this title provides a portrait of the Haitian experience of migration to the United States in order to illuminate the phenomenon of long-distance nationalism in an increasingly globalised world.

This work examines the increasing trend in transnationalism. Through ethnographic studies of immigrant populations from St Vincent, Grenada, Haiti and the Philippines to the United States, it aims to demonstrate that transnationalism challenges the concepts of citizenship and nationhood.
