New Publications I am currently writing a new book, entitled Cornish Mineworkers in Latin America: Migration and Transnational Identity and is due to be published by Exeter University Press. This book will be the first to cover the migration of the Cornish to Latin America and breaks new ground in that it adopts a transnational perspective on identities, links and movement. Much previous historical work on Cornish migration has tended to focus on the effects of migrants’ arrival in receiving communities. But my book is equally concerned with the less well-studied sending side of the migration continuum and offers a close range view from the migrants’ communities of origin. It is intended to be an anthropological study of how Cornish migration to Latin America was initiated, organised, and articulated with larger socio-economic processes through time, as well as an ethnographic discourse of the various consequences of international migration for those Cornish in both sending and receiving communities.
