Translocalities come in many forms and, as an emergent category of human organization, require serious attention. Border zones are now becoming spaces of complex quasi-legal circulation of persons and goods. The border between the United States and Mexico is an excellent example of one kind of translocality. Similarly, many tourist zones may be described as translocalities, even where they may lie nominally within the jurisdiction of particular nation-states. All Free Trade Zones (FTZs) are to some extent translocalities. Finally, every major refugee camp, migrant hostel, or neighborhood of exiles and guest workers is a translocality.
