Abstract
In this chapter the author explicates theoretical, methodological, and substantive contributions ethnographers have made to the study of transnational migration and suggests future direction for research. By exploring the epistemological assumptions residing within ethnographic approaches to transnational migration, the author notes the venerable but often forgotten history of migration within anthropology. Key terms of transnational migration studies are defined.
