This volume explores how migration is playing a central role in the
renewing and reworking of urban spaces in the fast growing and
rapidly changing cities of Asia. Migration trends in Asia entered a
new phase in the 1990s following the end of the Cold War which
marked the advent of a renewed phase of globalization. Cities have
become centrally implicated in globalization processes and,
therefore, have become objects and sites of intense study. The
contributors to this book reflect on the impact and significance of
migration with a particular focus on the contested spaces that are
emerging in urban contexts and the economic, social, religious and
cultural domains with which they intersect. They also examines the
roles and effects of different forms of migration in the cauldron
of urban change, from low-skilled domestic migrants who maintain a
close engagement with their rural homes, to highly
skilled/professional transnational migrants, to legal and illegal
international migrants who arrive with the hope of transforming
their livelihoods. Providing a mosaic of insights into the links
between migration, marginalization and contestation in Asia's urban
contexts, Asian Cities, Migrant Labor and Contested Spaces will be
of interest to students and scholars of Asian studies, migration
studies, urban studies and human geography.
