Rural life in Southeast Asia is being transformed by new and
intensifying processes of migration and mobility. Migration out of
rural areas creates new forms of class mobility, familial
relations, production processes and income. Migration into rural
areas creates a new and sometimes marginalized workforce,
contestation over resource access, and the juxtaposition of
culturally different groups. At the same time, everyday mobility
stretches the spatial boundaries of village and family life. The
bounded space of the village is no longer adequate to understand
the dynamics that are driving (and resulting from) rural social
change.
This collection of original studies explores the cultural,
economic and environmental dimensions of intensifying migration and
mobility in rural Southeast Asia at multiple scales. Diverse
processes are explored including rural-urban flows, rural-rural
movement, everyday mobilities, and international migrations into
regional and global labour markets. Drawing on fieldwork in six
countries across the region, these essays also explore what
migration means for our understanding of class, citizenship, gender
and the state in a rapidly changing part of the world.
This book was based on two parts of a special issue of Critical
Asian Studies.
