Certain areas are celebrated as exemplars of multicultural success, while others are portrayed as ghettos. In an effort to bridge this dichotomy, Exploring the Transnational Neighborhood examines these debates through the lenses of geography, anthropology, and literary and cultural studies. By introducing the interdisciplinary concept of the transnational neighborhood, the book presents these localities, such as Clichy-sous-Bois, Belfast, El Segundo Barrio, and Williamsburg, as densely packed contact zones where diverse cultures intersect in often asymmetrical relations, resulting in a dynamic and evolving local and cultural understanding of identity, belonging, and familiarity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExploring the Transnational Neighborhood provides a crucial response to a pressing question of our time: How do individuals forge a sense of community within a highly globalized context? By centering the neighborhood as a central space of transcultural everyday experience across three distinct discourse levels (virtual, physical local, and transnational-global), the multidisciplinary contributions explore both bottom-up practices of community building and the cultural, social, economic, and historical barriers that shape these interactions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is freely accessible as an ebook through OAPEN Library, JSTOR, Project Muse, and Open Research Library.
