This book will enlarge our grasp of global migration phenomena,
offering insights into the fascinating, at times startling,
realities of human migration in Asia. The chapters presented in
this volume offer variety in not only theme but in approach to
migration in Southeast and East Asia. Particularly welcome for a
volume on migration studies, a discipline that has long been
dominated by economists, sociologists, and geographers, are the
chapters that approach the subject from an anthropological or
ethnological perspective. These chapters bring to our attention
details of the lives of migrants and their communities that are
often lost in studies of migration statistics, the economic aspects
of migration, or aspects of urban geography with which we have
become more familiar. Some chapters are more theoretical in nature
and herein lie some of the most important reasons for studying
migration involving Asian countries: migration studies have, until
relatively recently, developed their theoretical insights on the
basis of European migration to North America. Asian migration
offers new theoretical challenges to migration scholars; its
dynamism is such that predictions of what is to come are not for
the risk averse. The empirical studies here provide fascinating
details of the strategies used by asylum seekers, of marriage
migration, of the role of homeland languages in education, of the
workings of ethnic entrepreneurs, of the media’s role in
sustaining Chinese communities, and on the incentive structures
that are helping to shape return flows to China. For readers who
are from Asian countries, this book will illuminate the changes
that are taking place in your region as a result of migration. For
readers from developed and other societies, it will provide new
insights into migration involving this understudied part of the
world, an area that supplies the lion’s share of immigrants to
developed economies, and the area whose rapid economic development
will soon make it their greatest competition for migrants,
especially the highly skilled.
