A focus on the sites of Asian interaction enables this volume to
shed new light on the growing field of diaspora studies. Research
on Asia's many diasporas has enriched the older literature on
migration to illuminate the links of kinship, affect, trade, and
information that connect locations across Asia, and beyond. But
where many recent works on particular diasporas have tended to look
inwards - at how distinctive diasporic cultures maintained a sense
of 'home' while abroad - the volume's focus has been on how
different diasporas have come into contact with each other in
particular places, often for the first time. It also engages with
research in the fields of urban studies and urban history. The
articles develop the already rich historical literature on port
cities across Asia - the quintessential sites of Asian
cosmopolitanism - as well as more recent work on the 'moving
metropolises' and 'mobile cities' of contemporary Asia.
