Transnational practices: Diversities in a globalized world
Diversity is one of the significant features of the transnational and translocational ties and practices. The multiple and intersecting axes of diversities in regards to economy, politic, culture, subjectivities, psychic and different empirical contexts construct and condition people’s experiences of displacements.
