Small-scale, work-related mobility has become a constitutive
feature of modern local Southeast Asian societies. This unique
volume traces the lives of low-paid, mostly young, unskilled
migrants who have moved away from their villages of origin in
search of a job: contractual farmers in Laos; miners, young urban
service workers, and construction workers in Indonesia; shoemakers
in the Philippines; and factory workers in Vietnam. The case
studies show how ill-defined work leads to lives of structural and
symbolic precariousness and reshapes the migrants' own moral
visions of work, identity, and belonging.
