Southeast Asia has long been a crossroad of cultural influence and
transnational movement, but the massive migration of Southeast
Asians throughout the world in recent decades is historically
unprecedented. Dispersal, compelled by economic circumstance,
political turmoil, and war, engenders personal, familial, and
spiritual dislocation, and provokes a questioning of identity and
belonging. This volume features original works by scholars from
Asia, America, and Europe that highlight these trends and
perspectives on Southeast Asian migration within and beyond the
Asia-Pacific region. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach with
contributions from sociology, political science, anthropology, and
history and anchored in empirical case studies from various
Southeast Asian countries, it extends the scope of inquiry beyond
the economic concerns of migration, and beyond a single country
source or destination, and disciplinary focus. Analytic focus is
placed on the forces and factors that shape migration trajectories
and migrant incorporation experiences in Asia and Europe; the
impact of migration and immigration status on individuals,
families, and institutions, on questions of equity, inclusion, and
identity; and the triangulated relationships between diasporic
communities, the sending and receiving countries. Of particular
importance is the scholarly attention to lesser known populations
and issues such as Vietnamese in Poland, children and the 1.5
generation immigrants, health and mental consequences of state
sponsored violence and protracted encampment, ethnic media, and the
challenges of both transnational parenting and family
reunification. In examining the complex and creative negotiations
that immigrants engage locally and transnationally in their daily
lives, it foregrounds immigrant resilience in the strategies they
adopt not only to survive but thrive in displacement.
