Description
This book represents a follow-up to 2014's The Age of Asian Migration: Continuity, Diversity, and Susceptibility Volume 1. Both volumes are the result of the conference on Asian Migration and Diasporas organised by the Southeast Asia Research Centre and held at the City University of Hong Kong in 2013. Despite numerous studies on Asian migration issues having been conducted over the past few decades, no comprehensive account of Asian migrations, especially those taking place since the end of the Second World War exists.While the first volume provided a discussion of a wide spectrum of topics concerning Asian migration - from historical perspectives to updated trends - this volume is organised around three major themes, namely "Women and Migration", "Refugee and Borderland Migration", and "Remittances and Migration Economics".The book contains new migration stories that provide fresh insights into human movements, and enhances academic discussions of migration through case studies from Asia.
