Call for submissions ROUTLEDGE SERIES ON ASIAN MIGRATION SERIES EDITORS: PUBLISHED TITLES (original) (raw)
Asia is now the most essential and dynamic region receiving and sending both long-term and short-term migrants, undertaking migration in all routes and in various forms. Books in the series broaden the discussions of the relationship between migration and globalization, transnationalism, development, inter-cultural studies, and identity and diaspora. They address specific social and cultural dynamics-such as gender relations, population, family and marriage patterns, new class formation, and the transformation of cultural values-that have been brought by Asian migration. This series highlights Asia as a region with the most active migration movements, which should be one of the most essential areas bringing critical social changes within and across national boundaries. The series welcomes submissions from prominent scholars in Asian Migration studies as well as emerging scholars with empirically rich and updated research.

Postcolonial Approaches to Migration in Asia: Reflections and Projections
Geography Compass, 2015
This article argues that postcolonial approaches to migration in Asia are relevant and useful in this age of unprecedented migration for two important reasons. Firstly, such approaches enable the interrogation of fundamental migration-related concepts such as citizenship, race and ethnicity, diaspora, indigeneity and development. This critically questions the need for these categories of difference which have been augmented and exacerbated by migration, the nation-state and its bordering strategies. Secondly, such approaches shed light on fundamental issues of inequality, through which migration occurs as a response to differential access to opportunities and resources. By tracing how and why migration occurs in specific locations through a postcolonial lens, we can then map out the underlying power inequalities and discover possibilities for agency and social change.
Asian perspectives of migration: a commentary
2020
This commentary discusses the scope of institutionalization by providing a regional dimension of migration studies. A pivotal weakness of the article is its lack of understanding of Asian migration scholarship which has thrived in the past two decades and has been a great impetus for the development of migration studies.
Migrants and Movements Across Asia
2018
What is termed as the current ‘European’ migration crisis is in actuality mostly about ‘Asian’ migrants. The elusive Afghan ‘peace’, manifold levels of conflictual engagements in Syria, the unresolved question of the Rohingya, numerous instances where state borders do not match ethnic boundaries but also the fact that in certain situations short term migration is the only way to ensure basic economic survival has meant that Asians are on the move.This movement does not follow a linear Asia to Europe trajectory by any stretch of imagination. Migrants mostly treadtraditional routes that were once accepted as ‘normal’ but have now become problematic with increasing levels of securitization and the rhetoric that accompanies it. The debate on these movements, however, is clearly oriented towards the lack of mechanisms to deal with ‘ethnic’ issues in various Asian states and the subsequent humanitarian problem it poses which then becomes ‘global’ and requires a coordinated response.This b...

Temporary labour migration now affects most countries of the world and displays several major trends. One of the important trends is that a large number of women participate in the global labour market as principal migrant. Even though a large group of women migrated in the past, they did so as part of family migration. Moreover, causes and effects of their migration were assumed to be similar to that of men’s (Asis 2006). Over the years, several researchers contributed to the literature on the diverse experiences of woman migrants as short term contract workers, permanent residents or migrants through marriage. Migration is a complex process. There are diversities as well as commonalities with respect of challenges that migrants of different countries of origin face. This paper concentrates on the participation of women of Asia in the short term international labour market. It highlights the diverse experiences of migration of women from various Asian countries, and tries to link t...
