This handbook presents cutting-edge research on Asian transnationalism written by experts in the areas of migration, diaspora, ethnicity, gender, language, education, politics, media, art, popular culture and literature from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives.

The Asian region not only constitutes one of the largest diasporic populations in the world but also the most diversified diasporas in terms of their historical trajectories of emigration, geographical spread, economic and political strength, socio-cultural integration in the host country and transnational engagement with the homeland. Divided thematically into six broad sections, the chapters in this handbook critically discuss and debate some of the pertinent issues of Asian transnationalism:

Contextualizing Asian Transnationalism

Transnationalism and Socio-Cultural Identities

Transnationalism, Education and Infrastructure

Transnationalism, Gender and Development

Transnationalism and Dynamics of Diasporic Politics

Transnationalism, Art and Media

The Routledge Handbook of Asian Transnationalism will be an invaluable resource for academics, researchers and students interested in the study of international migration, Asian diaspora and transnationalism.

Reviews for Routledge Handbook of Asian Transnationalism

""Bringing together a wide range of scholarship on Asian transnationalism in the post-World War II era, this handbook moves beyond US exceptionalism to examine migrant communities in Russia, for example, and is similarly noteworthy for its inclusion of less well-studied groups such as the Uzbek and Kazakh diasporas."" Emma J. Teng Director, Global Languages, and T.T. and Wei Fong Chao Professor of Asian Civilizations, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA ""A rich tapestry on Asian transnationalism, this Handbook weaves together diverse locations and issues across the globe. It spans regions such as East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Antipodes, on the one hand, and, on the other, microcosmic intricacies of the Hmong communities, Uzbeks in Russia, Tibetan self-immolation, just to name a few. The broad transnational canvas on refugees, overseas students, and immigrants and their children is meticulously painted through the interdisciplinary lens of sociology, politics, economics, psychology, ethnic studies, and art."" Sheng-mei Ma Professor of English, Michigan State University, Michigan, USA
