ABSTRACT
Immigration and nationalism sit unhappily beside each other. Do immigrants transfer their sense of national identity from one 'nation' to another? Or do they lose that sense of fixed origination and become 'rootless cosmopolitans' (in Stalin's phrase) or 'global citizens' equally at home wherever they lay their head, or plug in their laptop? Do they transfer some aspects of national identity, but not others, ending up with a mixed and perhaps contradictory sense of belonging?
