Source: Thrive Global article on the affect of Globalization of the Tourism Industry
One of this weeks readings, Transnational Migration and the Globalization of Grassroots Politics by Michael Peter Smith, talks about the emergence of the global culture of transnational immigrants and the grassroots movement of duality with the phrase "'Think [Global], Keep [it local]"' (Smith). I was intrigued how he talks about the ethnographic landscape of global transnational immigrants. He talked about the expression how a immigrant retains their own culture without a home land to refer to. This gets influenced by the wealth, population and territorial shifts immigrant have to face when coming to a new country. He talks about this conundrum by using "Community Research" or observing the transnational immigrants experiences as "Appadurai asks 'What is the nature locality, as a lived experience, in a globalized deterritorialized World'?" (Smith).
Question:: Can it affect families and how they perceive their own culture? The piece only talks about the individual but not familial.
