 at the Department of Human and Community Development at the University of 
 California, Davis.  He studies the processes and effects of global 
 South-North migration.  His research work includes U.S.-bound migration of 
 people from Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and El Salvador, and 
 Latin American migration to Europe, particularly to England, Denmark, 
 Italy, and Spain. He has investigated the web of social networks and power 
 structures that transcend national territorial jurisdictions with special 
 attention to the developmental effects of migration, including migrants' 
 remittances and political participation. He also looks at how the countries 
 of origin and destination try to incorporate these migrants as dual 
 citizens and naturalized citizens, respectively. Guarnizo is co-editor of 
 Transnationalism From Below (1998) and of a special issue on transnational 
 communities of the journal Ethnic and Racial Studies (1999), and author of 
 Londres Latina – la presencia colombiana en la capital británica (2008),
