Torn Roots Grow

The book examines how migrants combine their heritage with new opportunities, creating unique cultural identities and driving economic mobility through migrant entrepreneurship. For instance, some groups maintain strong social networks rooted in their culture of origin, while simultaneously embracing new technologies and business practices. This dynamic approach, the book argues, challenges simplistic notions of assimilation and reveals the agency and resilience inherent in migrant communities.

The study unfolds across thematic sections, starting with core concepts, then moving to case studies examining successes and failures, and concluding with applicable insights for policymakers and communities. By using historical analysis, sociological studies, and economic data, Torn Roots Grow provides a comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to migrant success and the global dynamics of migration.
