Annotation
Description The <i>Asian Migrant's Body: Emotion, Gender and Sexuality</i> brings together papers that investigate the way Asian migrants experience, think about, perceive and utilize their bodies as part of the journeys they have embarked on. In exploring how bodies are physically and symbolically marked by migration experiences, this edited volume seeks to move beyond the immediate effects of hard labour and (potentially) exploitative or abusive situations. It shows that migrants are not only on the receiving end where it concerns their bodies, nor are their bodies only utilized for their work as migrants: they also seek control over their bodies and to make them part of strategies to express themselves. The collective papers in <i>The Asian Migrant's Body</i> argue that the body itself is a primary site for understanding how migrants reflect on and experience their migration trajectories.
