This article addresses a gap between discussions of transnationalism in our field that largely remain focused on implications for educational attainment and current political discourses about immigrant youth and citizenship. Drawing on insights from our own research with transnational youth, we suggest that their experiences in transnational social fields offers them unique forms of critical consciousness, civic and political awareness, and commitment to democratic rights that are foundational for active democratic citizenship.

实地反思：跨国青年的民主公民身份形成

本文解决了我们领域中关于跨国主义的讨论之间的空白，这些空白主要集中在对学历的影响和有关移民青年和公民身份的当前政治论述上。借鉴我们对跨国青年的研究发现，我们建议他们在跨国社会领域的经验为他们提供独特的批判意识，公民和政治意识以及对民主权利的承诺，这是积极民主公民的基础。
