Transnational skilled migrants are often thought of as privileged
migrants with flexible citizenship. This book challenges this
assumption by examining the diverse migration trajectories,
experiences and dilemmas faced by tertiary-educated mobile
Malaysian migrants through a postcolonial lens. It argues that
mobile Malaysians' culture of migration can be understood as an
outcome and consequence of British colonial legacies - of race,
education, and citizenship - inherited and exacerbated by the
post-colonial Malaysian state. Drawing from archival research and
interviews with respondents in Singapore, United Kingdom, and
Malaysia, this book examines how mobile Malaysians make sense of
their migration lives, and contextualizes their stories to the
broader socio-political structures in colonial Malaya and
post-colonial Malaysia. Showing how legacies of colonialism
initiate, facilitate, and propagate migration in a multi-ethnic,
post-colonial migrant-sending country beyond the end of colonial
rule, this text is a key read for scholars of migration,
citizenship, ethnicity, nationalism and postcolonialism.
