The volume “Translocal Geographies. Spaces, Places and Connections” edited by Brickell
and Datta (2011b) uses scale as the main structuring dimension to illustrate the multiplicity of
translocal affiliations. The contributions present experiences of multi-scalar and multi-sited
translocal geographies at the scale of home and family (Brickell 2011; Hatfield 2011; Tan and
Yeoh 2011) and neighbourhoods (Centner 2011; Datta 2011; Wise 2011) as well as that of
the city (Chacko 2011; Christou 2011; Page 2011). As Brickell and Datta (2011a, p. 19–20)summarise, the volume highlights how the local and local-to-local connections exist across a
variety of scales and points to the importance of considering the material and embodied
practices of migrants for gaining an understanding of translocality.
