Mensen en instellingen hebben steeds meer contacten en banden die de grenzen van natiestaten overschrijden. Dit fenomeen wordt transnationalisme genoemd. Het boek biedt een overzicht van de bredere betekenissen van transnationalisme binnen de context van globalisering alvorens te focussen op migratie. Achtereenvolgens worden de socio-culturele, de politieke en de economische transformaties besproken. Hieruit blijkt dat migranten steeds meer transnationale levens leiden: de communicatietechnologie maakt de banden met het thuisland sterker, er zijn aanzienlijke geldstromen via remittances (verzending van geld door migranten naar het thuisland) en traditionele concepten over nationaliteit en burgerschap veranderen. Steven Vertovec is directeur van het Max Planck-instituut in Gottingen.

Superdiversity explores processes of diversification and the complex, emergent social configurations that now supersede prior forms of diversity in societies around the world. Migration plays a key role in these processes, bringing changes not just in social, cultural, religious and linguistic phenomena, but also in the ways that these phenomena combine with others like gender, age and legal status. The concept of superdiversity has been adopted by scholars across the social sciences in order to address a variety of forms, modes and outcomes of diversification. Central to this field is the relationship between social categorization and social organization, including stratification and inequality. Increasingly complex categories of social "difference" have significant impacts across scales, from entire societies to individual identities. While diversification is often met with simplifying stereotypes, threat narratives, and expressions of antagonism, superdiversity encourages a perspective on difference as comprising multiple social processes, flexible collective meanings, and overlapping personal and group identities. A superdiversity approach encourages the re-evaluation and recognition of social categories as multidimensional, unfixed and porous as opposed to views based on hardened, one-dimensional thinking about groups. Diversification and increasing social complexity are bound to continue, if not intensify, in light of climate change. This will have profound impacts on the nature of global migration, social relations and inequalities. Superdiversity presents a convincing case for recognizing new social formations created by changing migration patterns and calls for a re-thinking of public policy and social scientific approaches to social difference. This introduction to the multidisciplinary concept of superdiversity will be of considerable interest to students and researchers in a range of fields in the humanities and social sciences.

De Hindoestaanse diaspora begon in de 19e eeuw, toen vanuit Brits-Indië contractarbeiders naar veel plaatsen binnen en buiten het Britse Rijk trokken; daardoor zitten er nu nog steeds mensen van Zuid-Aziatische afkomst o.a. in Oost-Afrika, Zuid-Afrika, Mauritius, de Fiji-eilanden en het Caraïbische gebied. Ook het ronselen en verschepen van ongeveer 35.000 Hindoestanen naar Suriname in de periode 1873-1916 valt hieronder. Na de onafhankelijkheid van Suriname vertrokken er velen naar Nederland, omdat zij geen vertrouwen in het zelfbesturend vermogen van Suriname hadden. Deze diaspora leidt soms tot spanningen, zoals op de Fiji-eilanden, waar Hindoestanen talrijker zijn dan de autochtone bewoners, die politieke controle willen behouden, en in Oost-Afrika, waar zij niet altijd populair zijn vanwege hun onevenredig sterke positie in het zakenleven. Dit leidde zelfs tot een massale uitwijzing, in 1968 vanuit Kenia en in 1972 vanuit Oeganda van Hindoestanen. Terugkeer naar het onafhankelijke India bood hen, evenals de Surinaamse Hindoestanen, te weinig uitzicht op een redelijk bestaansniveau; de meesten zijn naar Zuid-Afrika, Canada, of naar het Verenigd Koninkrijk gemigreerd. De instroom van tienduizenden Hindoestanen in 1968 in het VK was de directe aanleiding tot de beruchte 'rivieren van bloed'-rede van de conservatief-nationalistische politicus Enoch Powell.
