Summary:This study analyzes the phenomenon of “localized transnationalism.” The concept refers to the prolonged and intense maintenance of cross-border connections by migrants whose capacity for geographic mobility is very limited. The study is based on ethnographic research which focused on Senegalese migrants in southern Spain. The results contribute to the debate on transnationalism by providing empirical evidence which demonstrates that migrants can engage in transnational practices even if they are excluded, due to administrative and economic obstacles, from transnational mobility. El presente estudio analiza el fenómeno que hemos denominado con el concepto de “transnacionalismo localizado”, que hace referencia al prolongado e intenso mantenimiento de vínculos a través de fronteras por migrantes cuya movilidad geográfica es muy limitada. Se trata de una realidad detectada en el marco de una investigación etnográfica realizada con migrantes senegaleses en el sur de España. El estudio contribuye al debate sobre el transnacionalismo aportando datos empíricos que demuestran que los migrantes pueden involucrarse en prácticas transnacionales, incluso cuando son excluidos, debido a obstáculos administrativos y económicos, de la movilidad transnacional.
