What is Organizing the Transnational : Labour, Politics, and Social Change about?

During the Second World War, more than 4,000 civilian nurses enlisted as Nursing Sisters, a specially created all-female officers' rank of the Canadian Armed Forces. Cynthia Toman analyzes how gender, war, and medical technology intersected to create a legitimate role for women in the masculine environment of the military and explores the incongruous expectations placed on military nurses as officers and ladies.About the Author:Cynthia Toman is an assistant professor of nursing and the associate director of the Associated Medical Services Nursing History Research Unit at the University of Ottawa \"Growing recognition of transnational practices and identities is changing the way scholars and activists ask questions about migration. Organizing the Transnational articulates a multilevel cultural politics of transnationalism to frame contemporary analyses of immigration and diasporas. Its unique approach will inform the work or researchers, practitioners, and activists interested in the dynamics of transnational social spaces.\"--Jacket This collection articulates a multi-level cultural politics of transnationalism to frame contemporary analyses of immigration and diasporas.
