Description:
Singapore.: NUS Press.. 2016.. 217pp, paperback. Migration in Asia is leading to more marriages across nationalities. New patterns of migration are complicating the picture of women from poorer Asian countries migrating to marry men in more wealthy ones. The contributors to this volume explore the agency of marriage migrants, showing how migration is often more than a simple movement from home to destination but can involve return, repeated, or extended migrations, and that these transitions that can alter geographies of power in economics, nationality, or ethnicity. Together, the contributors identify this emerging diaspora and its long-term consequences for families. Contributions by Masako Kudo, Chie Sakai, Linda A. Lumayag, Ikuya Tokoro, Caesar Dealwis, Caroline Grillot, Hien Anh Le, Lara Chen Tien-shi and Chatchai Chetsumon. .

Description:
Singapore: NUS Press, 2016. Paperback. New. In an age of increased communication, not only interracial marriages, but marriages between different nationalities are becoming increasingly common. This trend has accelerated in East Asia because middle class women , with a greater access to higher education, more frequently than their mothers, do not consider marriage to be one of their life goals. So more men from countries such as Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan are turning to Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam to find their brides. This study looks at the causes of this trend, the power relationship between both partners and the complex issues that result when the marriage goes wrong. 216 pages with an index. Weight: 0.5kg.
