In this anthology, cases of return migration in Asia provide the ground for rethinking relations between nation-states and transnational mobility. "This important volume creates a link between two phenomena that are often treated as oppositional, nation and (trans) nation. Focusing on return migration, the contributors show that space is more than place; it is a method for understanding global movements. The chapters illustrate how generation, class, and often flexible categories (returnee, refugee, and worker) place institutions and the people that they claim to serve in a constantly negotiated relationship. The conversation between scholars of different disciplines will stimulate wide-ranging debate."--Jeffrey Lesser, author of "A Discontented Diaspora: Japanese Brazilians and the Meanings of Ethnic Militancy, 1960-1980" Zusammenfassung Since the late 1990s!
