Annotation

This paper argues that the increasingly transnational character of immigrant communities calls for changes in educational policy that take into account the language needs of transnational children. The Dominican neighborhoods of New York City are used as local case to explore the linguistic, social, cultural, economic and political evidence of transnationalism in immigrant communities.
