Concentrating on the post-Holocaust era, Michel S. Laguerre explains how each urban diasporic site has followed a different path of development influenced by the local milieu in which it is incorporated. He also considers how technology has enabled extraterritorial relations with Israel and other diasporic enclaves inside and outside the hostland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShifting the frame of reference from assimilation theory to globalization theory and the information technology revolution, Laguerre argues that Jewish neighborhoods are not simply transnational social formations, but are fundamentally transglobal entities. Connected to multiple overseas diasporic sites, their interactions reach beyond their homelands, and they develop the logic of their social interactions inside this larger network of relationships. As with all transglobal communities, there is constant movement of people, goods, communications, ideas, images, and capital that sustains and adds vibrancy to everyday life. Since all are connected through the network, Laguerre contends that the variable shape of the local is affected by and affects the global.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55021859766616,"sku":"9780791475515","price":90.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780791475515_1fb3c480-db3f-4781-a185-9236484a4584.jpg?v=1777959940","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/global-neighborhoods","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
