本文通过探讨“做”公共和政治跨国活动的综合效应，进入对移民跨国主义的讨论。早些时候，移民跨国主义被认为是同化和融合等更传统概念化进程的替代或对立力量。后来对这一现象的描述承认，事实上，跨民族主义和同化进程甚至可能是相互依存的，融合是行动的促进者，可以发生在民族国家之外或之间。在这里，我借鉴了对美国萨尔瓦多活动家的生活史采访和多年的人种学观察，揭示了跨民族主义-融合硬币的另一面。萨尔瓦多积极分子怀着开展跨国活动的意图和过程，融入了东道国的公民和政治格局。
This paper enters the discussion on immigrant transnationalism by exploring the integrative effects of ‘doing’ public and political transnational activity. Early on, immigrant transnationalism was posed as an alternative or opposed force to more traditionally conceptualised processes like assimilation and integration. Later renderings of the phenomenon conceded that, indeed, processes of transnationalism and assimilation might even be interdependent, with integration as the facilitator of action that can occur either beyond or between nation-states. Here, I draw on life-history interviews and multiple years of ethnographic observation with US-based Salvadoran activists to reveal the opposite side of the transnationalism–integration coin. With the intent and in the process of trying to carry out transnational activity, Salvadoran activists become embedded into the host-state civic and political landscape.
