Abstract
Scholars increasingly recognize that migrants-even when becoming incorporated into the countries that receive them-remain strongly infl uenced by ties to their former home countries (Basch et al 1994, Glick Schiller et al 1992). Family practices-an area which has been relatively understudied in the transnationalism literature (Levitt & Glick Schiller 2004)—is one area where transnational ties may be particularly important. Indeed, individuals who have shown little regard for their parental homeland may activate connections to this location at the time in life when they wish to marry (Espiritu & Tran 2002). The transnational marriages that ensue are furthermore crucial for the perpetuation of many transnational social fi elds (Bryceson & Vuorela 2002, Fouron & Glick Schiller 2001).
