| description | This paper presents the results of a survey conducted among members of the
second generation of Serbian migrants born in Switzerland. Thanks to the
data obtained through the application of qualitative research, there are
presented activities of the respondents in the transnational area. Their
engagement on the route between Serbia and Switzerland is reflected in four
areas of transnationalism: direct/indirect contacts, transnational
engagement in the receiving state, remittances and visits to the country of
origin and return plans. The results indicate that children of migrants who
come from a family whose members are active in a transnational space, in
most cases, adopt the same norms of behavior and it plays a crucial role in
the process of identity formation. However, their transnational behavior on
the relationship between the two states has different form, and the
transnational activities examined do not condition each other. |
