Summary/Abstract: The transnational perspective has been asserted in recent years especially in the study of international migration. The current dynamics of globalization and international migration call for new theoretical and methodological perspectives to analyze social contamination processes. This study presents a case study of transnationalism for migrants from Borşa (Maramureş) to Milan. At the end of the article, there are some ways in which transnationalism, as a theory and research perspective, can be used in ethnic analysis in Eastern Europe.
