“…Furthermore, Schmiz refers to Itzigsohn, Dore Cabral et al (1999, cited in Schmiz 2011, who introduced a differentiation of transnational migration according to the migrants' degree of involvement into transnational social spaces. Studying Dominican transnational migrants, they found that there is a continuum between 'narrow' and 'broad' transnationalism.…”

“…Some of this literature shows that transnational engagements often do not cluster (Levitt 2003;Waldinger 2008;Schunck 2011), with certain migrants showing a higher propensity to send remittances, while others are more likely to travel 'back home' for visits, for example. Furthermore, a number of qualitative analyses show that people are involved in transnational practices in various social fields to different degrees (Itzigsohn et al 1999). This indicates that transnationality can be considered along a continuum of different degrees of intensity (Levitt 2001;Itzigsohn et al 1999;Fauser and Reisenauer 2013).…”

Keywords: migrants, transnationality, inequality, Germany, capital, heterogeneity Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThe scope of immigrant's transnational ties and the relationship to their social position is subject to a controversial debate that suggests a dualistic picture. On the one hand, globalization theorists argue that an elite of highly educated and economically most successful professionals intensively engages in and benefits from transnationality. On the other hand, most scholars in migration and assimilation studies hold that it is the most underprivileged immigrants who maintain strong ties across state borders, which in turn furthers their marginalization. Yet, to date, very little systematic research has been conducted into the nexus between social inequalities and transnationality. This paper aims to fill this gap. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP), weshow that the economic, cultural and social forms of capital are related to transnationality in different ways, rather than reflecting one uniform pattern.2

“…Evidence from studies of Dominican and Salvadoran immigrants do suggest that premigration experiences shape new country adaptation and transnational engagement. Only after experiencing homeland economic crises did a significant number of immigrants from these countries send remittances (Menjivar, 2000: 100;Landolt, Autler and Baires, 1999;Itzigsohn, Cabral, Medina and Vázquez, 1999). There also is evidence that diverse waves of immigrants from other countries experiencing social revolutions, namely Vietnam (Shelley, 2001), China (Kuhn, 2008;Pieke, Nyiri, Thuno and Ceccagno, 2004), and Poland (Erdmans 1998), relate differently to their homeland from their new land, with differences traceable to distinctive premigration experiences.…”

The article compares the explanatory power of assimilationist and transnational frameworks with a historically informed generation (historical cohort) thesis that addresses the long-term cross-border impact of premigration experiences on immigrant new country adaptation. It tests the utility of the thesis with respect to immigrant remittance-sending among different waves of Cuban émigrés to the United States, who had different homeland experiences before uprooting. Regression analysis is used to assess the relative import of premigration experiences and factors immigration studies have found to be associated with assimilation and transnationalism. The article concludes with a discussion of the applicability of the historical cohort thesis for improved understanding of other immigrant group adaptation and homeland engagement.
