“…Transnational subjective linkages refer to diasporas' sense of belonging to homelands and transnational ethnic, religious, and other communities. Recent years have seen the emergence of a sizeable interdisciplinary body of work examining the process of identity formation among transnational migrants and the development of their sense of belonging to native and host communities/countries (see, for instance, Plüss, ; Taylor, ; Shams, ). Researchers have also examined subjective linkages' impact on migrants.…”

In view of the observation of some scholars and policymakers that contemporary international migration and its developmental effects are better understood from a transnational perspective, this paper attempts a systematic review of the impact of the transnational perspective on the relationship between migration and development in the fields of migration studies, population studies, and demography. Based on a study of 666 publications on transnationalism, diaspora, and development derived using keyword searches of the Web of Science database and a more in‐depth review of a subset of 60 influential papers on transnational linkages, the paper discusses five types of transnational linkages—familial, political, economic, sociocultural, and subjective. While the influence of transnationalism has been profound, stimulating an innovative body of work on changing migration patterns, the linkages between diaspora and their homelands, and the impact of these linkages on development, the review also identified significant gaps, namely, the inadequate attention to generating evidence of the developmental impact of transnational migration, particular in the Global South; the lack of consideration for the way diaspora from single homelands is internally differentiated and distributed across multiple transnational social spaces; and the need to identify data sources for more robust quantitative analyses of the multiple linkages between diaspora and development.

“…More recently, scholars have suggested that moving beyond these two broad paradigms could yield fruitful results in further capturing the complexity of migration processes. In so doing, they highlight that “it is after international migration and in the hostland that immigrants experience the interconnectedness of diverse societies from across the globe” (Shams, 2017, p.714). By shifting the focus from the homeland‐hostland dyadic relationship, these works do not dismiss the significance of connections between pre‐ and post‐migration experiences.…”

“…Homeland is then (re)discovered in a novel way. In this way, it is not what is unfolding inside the homeland that carries salience for migrants (Shams, 2017; Thurairajah, 2015) but the unearthing of the silenced pasts.…”

Examinations of migrants' experiences have traditionally been confined to host country experiences. More recent studies consider the homeland-hostland relationship as a dynamic one, while also paying attention to the impact of events that happen outside these two landscapes. This article seeks to build on these latter works by considering the homeland-hostland connection from a different angle and argues that, when it happens, the post-migration discovery of homeland communal and personal histories results in salient personal transformations. Moreover, these hostland experiences are largely facilitated by encounters with the larger ethnic community. The examination draws upon data collected on Armenian migrants from Turkey to Canada. RésuméLes examens des expériences des migrants se sont traditionnellement limités aux expériences du pays d'accueil.Des études plus récentes considèrent la relation entre le pays d'origine et le pays d'accueil comme une relation dynamique, tout en prêtant attention à l'impact des événements qui se produisent en dehors de ces deux paysages. Cet article cherche à s'appuyer sur ces derniers travaux en considérant le lien entre le pays d'origine et
