Amidst the increasing global trend of cross-border marriage
migration, this book offers timely theoretical and empirical
insights into contemporary debates about migration and citizenship.
Extant scholarship on marriage migration and citizenship have
concentrated on East-West inter-cultural marriages and tended to
approach citizenship as an individual-centred concept linked to the
nation-state, thus fading the family into the background. Focusing
on cross-border marriages within Asia, a region where collectivist
and familistic values are still prevalent, this book points to the
importance of going beyond the state-individual nexus to
conceptualise and foreground the family as a strategic site where
citizenship is mediated, negotiated and experienced. Through six
critical and in-depth case studies on cross-border marriages
between East, Southeast, and South Asia, this book reveals how
nation-states mobilize patriarchal notions of the family for its
citizenship project; how formal frameworks of citizenship structure
the trajectory and circumstances of cross-border families; how the
repercussions of marriage migrants' citizenship are experienced and
negotiated across generations; and how the tensions between the
individual, the family and the state are produced along gender,
class, race/ethnic, religious, cultural, geographical and
generational boundaries. Collectively, this book calls for a
rethinking of citizenship from an individual-centred proposition to
a family-level concept. Its wealth of case studies and examples
make it an essential resource for students, academics and
researchers of Sociology, Geography, Anthropology, Politics,
International Development Studies and Asian Studies. The chapters
in this book were originally published as a special issue of
Citizenship Studies.
