What can transnationalism facilitate in migrant communities?

Transnationalism facilitates stronger ties between migrants and their countries of origin by enabling individuals to maintain connections to their homeland while also integrating into their host society. This interconnectedness allows for the flow of goods, ideas, and cultural practices across borders, fostering a continuous link between the migrant community and their country of origin. As migrants engage in transnational activities—such as sending remittances, participating in political processes, or maintaining family relationships—they reinforce their cultural identity and social networks. This can enhance community support and create a sense of belonging that transcends national boundaries, enriching both the migrant experience and their home culture.
