And most of all, thank you to all the migrants and activists who shared with me their documents, told me their stories, and invited me to their homes and organizations. I would not have been able to complete the research for their book without your generosity and commitment to social change. πŸ™

Hi Shruti. Unfortunately, I don't have a chapter on transnational families. The book focuses mostly on protests. :(
