Notes
1. Levitt provides an initial typology of communities that may emerge as a result of transnational migration (Transnational Villagers 13; "Transnational Migration").
2. Unfortunately, and not at all uncommonly, the concept of "social capital" remains undefined.
3. This distinction is very well elaborated by Alejandro Grimson in his study of Bolivian identities in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
