Studies on people on the move have recently gained new impetus, whether looked at from a migration, diaspora, or transnational angle. While dislocations, imagined sites, and belongings constituted virtually have sometimes made places disappear entirely, the idea that people on the move neither “belong” to where they came from nor should be viewed from a narrow nationalistic angle have become evident. Focus has been directed on everyday life and family formation in multi-localities, with people on the move, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. In the Middle Eastern context, people in a transnational state have become an important field where notions of family, gender, and citizenship are contested and theoretically re-evaluated.
