ABSTRACT
Chapter 5 explores transnational citizenship from an intergenerational perspective, focusing on Nicholaos’ return to Cyprus. This chapter mirrors Chapter 1 of this volume, which examines the minor colonialism that leads to Nicholaos’ outward migration journey. However, a main difference is that in this chapter, the voice of Nicholaos’ wife, Sylvia, my grandmother, is dominant. Sylvia became transnational when she married Nicholaos and that identity was fundamental to family life. She became a migrant when she moved to Cyprus. I foreground her voice as a means of providing a working-class feminist narrative model, which depicts the realities of the everyday processes of becoming transnational.
