Product Description

This book explores the complex relationship between place, affect, and personhood in the context of Asian migration. Drawing on original research conducted in a variety of Asian countries, the book provides a nuanced understanding of how migrants navigate and make sense of their new surroundings, and how these experiences shape their identities. The book argues that place is not simply a backdrop for migration, but rather an active force that shapes migrants' experiences and identities. Through a focus on affect, the book also explores the emotional dimensions of migration, and how these emotions shape migrants' sense of belonging and home. Ultimately, the book argues that migration is a transformative experience that can have a profound impact on migrants' sense of self and their relationship to the world around them.
