This book analyses how Asian migrants adapt and assimilate into
their host societies, and how this assimilation differs across
their sociodemographic backgrounds, ethnic profiles, and political
contexts. The diversities in Asian migrants' assimilation
trajectories challenge the assumption that given time, migrants
will eventually integrate holistically into their host societies.
This book captures the diverse patterns and trajectories of
assimilation by going beyond marriage migration to look at how
family formation processes are shaped by migration driven by
reasons other than marriage. Using quantitative, qualitative, and
mixed-method analyses, not only does this book uncover the nuances
of the link between marriage and migration, but it also widens
methodological repertoires in research on marriage and migration.
It also captures various social outcomes that may have been
influenced by migration, including migrants' economic well-being,
cultural assimilation, subjective well-being, and gender inequality
vis-a-vis marriages. This book further embeds the studies in the
Asian contexts by drawing on individual countries' unique policies
relevant to cross-cultural marriages, the persistent impacts of
extended families, the patriarchal traditions, and systems of
religion and caste. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration
Studies.
