transnational communities
Transnational communities are groups of people who maintain connections across national borders. These communities often consist of immigrants and their descendants who share cultural, social, and economic ties to their home countries while also integrating into their host countries. They engage in activities that promote their heritage, such as festivals, language classes, and community organizations.
These communities can influence both their home and host countries through remittances, cultural exchange, and political engagement. For example, members may participate in local elections in their host country while also advocating for issues affecting their homeland, creating a dynamic interplay between different national identities.
