While marriage has lost its popularity in many developed countries
and is no longer an obligatory path to family formation, it has
gained momentum among binational couples as states reinforce their
control over human migration. Focusing on the case of Southeast
Asian women who have been epitomized on the global marriage market
as 'ideal' brides and wives, this volume examines these women's
experiences of international marriage, migration, and states'
governmentality. Drawing from ethnographic research and policy
analyses, this book sheds light on the way many countries in
Southeast Asia and beyond have redefined marriage and national
belonging through their regime of 'marital citizenship' (that is, a
legal status granted by a state to a migrant by virtue of his/her
marriage to one of its citizens). These regimes influence the
familial and social incorporation of Southeast Asian migrant women,
notably their access to socio-political and civic rights in their
receiving countries. The case studies analysed in this volume
highlight these women's subjectivity and agency as they embrace,
resist, and navigate the intricate legal and socio-cultural
frameworks of citizenship. As such, it will appeal to sociologists,
geographers, socio-legal scholars, and anthropologists with
interests in migration, family formation, intimate relations, and
gender.
The emotional, social, and economic challenges faced by migrants
and their families are interconnected through complex decisions
related to mobility. Tangled Mobilities examines the different
crisscrossing and intersecting mobilities in the lives of Asian
migrants, their family members across Asia and Europe, and the
social spaces connecting these regions. In exploring how the
migratory process unfolds in different stages of migrants' lives,
the chapters in this collected volume broaden perspectives on
mobility, offering insight into the way places, affects, and
personhood are shaped by and connected to it.
