Remittance as Belonging: Global Migration, Transnationalism, and the Quest for Home

Join this intriguing book talk hosted by AUC's Centre for Migration and Refugee Studies, featuring Hasan Mahmud, Assistant Professor in Residence, Sociology, Northwestern University in Qatar, on his book Remittance as Belonging: Global Migration, Transnationalism, and the Quest for Home.

In his book, the author argues that migrants' remittances express their sense of belonging and connectedness to their home country of origin, making an integral part of both migrants’ ethnic identity and sense of what they call home. Drawing on three and a half years of ethnographic fieldwork with Bangladeshi migrants in Tokyo and Los Angeles, Hasan Mahmud demonstrates that while migrants go abroad for various reasons, they do not travel alone.
