Institutional Transnationalism, Parental Values, and the Next Generation

Bulletin of Latin American Research

Abstract

This paper examines ‘next’ generation institutional transnationalism, a concept that refers to individuals born and/or brought up in a country of settlement who are involved in transnational organisations oriented towards their country of origin – in this case Mexican and Salvadoran groups active within the United States. Building on previous research which views parental transmission as a major cause of next‐generation transnationalism, this paper explores an additional and previously overlooked influence – parental involvement in cross‐border organisations or causes.
