Shanthi Robertson provides fresh perspectives on 21st-century
migratory experiences in this innovative study of young Asian
migrants' lives in Australia. Exploring the aspirations and
realities of transnational mobility, the book shows how migration
has reshaped lived experiences of time for middle-class young
people moving between Asia and the West for work, study and
lifestyle opportunities. Through a new conceptual framework of
'chronomobilities,' which looks at 'time-regimes' and
'time-logics', Robertson demonstrates how migratory pathways have
become far more complex than leaving one country for another, and
can profoundly affect the temporalities of everyday life, from
career pathways to intimate relationships. Drawing on extensive
ethnographic material, Robertson deepens our understanding of the
multifaceted relationship between migration and time.
