Brettell's exploration of migration and transnationalism offers a comprehensive anthropological perspective, drawing from her extensive fieldwork in Portugal and beyond. She critically examines various migration theories, addressing key issues such as immigrant incorporation, the effects on individuals and communities, and the dynamics of ethnic entrepreneurship. The book also delves into the roles of gender, religion, and oral histories in shaping migration experiences and social boundaries. It serves as a vital resource for academics across multiple disciplines, including anthropology and sociology.
