Transnationalism

Borrowed judiciously and grappled with by a myriad of academic disciplines, “transnationalism” broadly refers to the ways in which peoples, ideas, and culture transcend the borders of nation-­states and their adjacent structures in their lived experiences (Stephens 1998). “Black transnationalism” usually refers to the ways in which Black freedom struggles have related to one another beyond the boundaries of white nationhood.
