The Yearbook of Transnational History is dedicated to disseminating pioneering research in the field of transnational history. This second volume includes articles on such topics as transnational marriages, exile, soccer, and missionaries as well as on the campaigns in communist countries for freeing the American civil-rights activist Angela Davis. These articles highlight the movement of ideas, people, policies, and practices across various cultures and societies and explore the relations, connections, and spaces created by these movements. The articles in this volume explore interconnected historical phenomena in Asia, North and South America, and Europe from the late seventeenth to late twentieth centuries. These articles make clear that historical phenomena, such as soccer and exile, cannot be contained and explained within just one national setting. This book also offers a theoretical article that provides insights into the concept of intercultural transfer studies and its relationship to comparative and global history and an article that surveys the state of research in the field of transnational crime.
