About the Book

The emotional, social, and economic challenges faced by migrants and their families are interconnected through complex decisions related to mobility. Tangled Mobilities examines the different crisscrossing and intersecting mobilities in the lives of Asian migrants, their family members across Asia and Europe, and the social spaces connecting these regions. In exploring how the migratory process unfolds in different stages of migrants’ lives, the chapters in this collected volume broaden perspectives on mobility, offering insight into the way places, affects, and personhood are shaped by and connected to it.

Review :
“Tangled Mobilities constitutes an original contribution both the-oretically and empirically to the bourgeoning (im)mobilities scholarship. Moreover, empirical cases in this volume provide a compelling argument that future research employing the framework of “tangled mobilities” should engage the emotional and temporal dimensions of mobility…The book will drive further scholarly discussions and pave the way for new research on yet understudied human mobilities.” • HAL Open Science, Advances in Southeast Asian Studies “As the site of intense transnational migration, the literature on Asian migration has not only flourished but has also engendered and informed theoretical developments in migration and mobility studies. The volume, Tangled Mobilities: Places, Affects, and Personhood across Social Spheres in Asian Migration, edited by Asuncion Fresnoza-Flot and Gracia Liu Farrer, offers compelling insights on recent turns in migration scholarship as these developments unfold in Asian migration. The ten ethnographic studies make a significant contribution to the literature by bringing in the role of emotions; by highlighting life stage, temporality and intergenerational dimensions; and by shedding light on previously unexplored themes such as sexual mobility, queer migrants and the mobility of objects. The concept of tangled mobilities provide a unifying thread to the case studies as does the excellent introductory and concluding essays by the editors.” • Maruja M. B. Asis, former Editor, Asian and Pacific Migration Journal> “Decentering international migration studies from their usual focus on Western countries, the present volume explores the intricate connections between mobility and personhood in Asian migrants’ daily lives. Conceptually insightful, empirically rich and based on fine-grained ethnography, it pleads for a relational approach that broaches at once the issues of national laws, (re)production, race, gender, family and sexuality, showing how power relations are an inherent dimension of any experience of mobility.” • Pierre Petit, Editor, Civilisations “By recognising the entanglements of power, privilege and personhood at work in producing plural forms of mobility, this volume ably demonstrates the multifaceted complexity of transnational migration across and beyond the Asian canvas. For Fresnoza-Flot and Liu-Farrer, migration scholarship at its best compels us to interrogate the interrelatedness of different social spheres – the public and the private, the reproductive and the productive, the emotional and the material, mobility and stasis, and so forth.” • Brenda Yeoh FBA, Professor, National University of Singapore
