Contextualising Transnationalism

Vol. 51, Issue No. 30, 23 Jul, 2016
Molly Fitzpatrick, Mario Rutten

Scholars following the transnational turn in migration studies have stressed the way in which connections that migrants maintain across nation state boundaries affect their daily lives and subjectivities in the place of settlement. By doing so, the influence of the local context on transnational ties is sometimes overlooked. Based on five months of fieldwork amongst the Gujarati Hindu community of Cape Town, the cases presented in this paper show that local particularities inherently affect global processes. It suggests a reconceptualisation of transnational connections that emphasises the influence of the local and historical context of migration and argues that the regionalised migration trajectories and the manifestation of the history of apartheid in the local context have significantly affected the way in which transnational ties with India are maintained by this community.

Mario Rutten, Parvin J Patel

Two contradictory forces - a spirit of enterprise and a traditionbound status-consciousness - led the patels of central Gujarat first to Africa and then to the UK.

Economic Behaviour and Life-Style of Middle-Large Farmers in Central Gujarat Mario Rutten Based on field-work in the Charotar tract of Kheda district in central Gujarat, this paper analyses some qualitative aspects of the economic behaviour and life-style of the class of middle-large farmers.
