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.
