| contents | Negotiating Membership in a Mexican Transnational Community. A study of North American Immigrants in a Mexican Border Town Helene Balslev Clausen Estudios Culturales membership Citizenship social space transnationalism North American immigrants This article seeks to shed light on new formations of citizenship and political transnationalism in a Mexican town in the Mexican - US border region. We analyze how a North American immigrant group as a new actor forms part of the civil society and the implications that networks forged by this group have for the nature of citizenship. The article argues that we are in need of a more nuanced account of the limits and possibilities for understanding transnational citizenship. The North American immigrant group recognizes the continuing significance of the nation state (US), however they are flexible in negotiating the practices and rights of citizenship across borders. They must accommodate or resist, as they attempt to politically construct new spaces for practicing citizenship across borders. Thereby the article rejects both nationalist and post-nationalist essentialisms and focuses on the real social differences in order to capture the social space of the changing nature of transnational citizenship. 2008 artículo científico 1600-0110 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=16201401 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=162 Diálogos Latinoamericanos application/pdf Aarhus Universitet Diálogos Latinoamericanos (Dinamarca) Num.14 |
