Collective remittances, that is to say development initiatives carried out by immigrant groups for the benefit of their place of origin, have been attracting growing attention from both academics and policy makers. Focusing on hometown organisations, this book analyses the social mechanics that are conducive to collective transnationalism.

Thomas Lacroix is CNRS Deputy Director of Migrinter, University of Poitiers, France. His work addresses the relationships between transnationalism and development, with a specific focus on North African emigrants. In 2005 he published Les réseaux marocains du développement. He is also also Associate Editor of the journal Migration Studies.
