Produktinformationen zu „Race, Education, and Citizenship / Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship (PDF)“
Transnational skilled migrants are often thought of as privileged migrants with flexible citizenship. This book challenges this assumption by examining the diverse migration trajectories, experiences and dilemmas faced by tertiary-educated mobile Malaysian migrants. It argues that mobile Malaysians' culture of migration can be understood as an outcome and consequence of British colonial legacies - of race, education, and citizenship - inherited and exacerbated by the post-colonial Malaysian state. Drawing from archival research and interviews with respondents in Singapore, United Kingdom, and Malaysia, this book examines how mobile Malaysians make sense of their migration lives, and contextualizes their stories to the broader socio-political structures in colonial Malaya and post-colonial Malaysia. Showing how legacies of colonialism initiate, facilitate, and propagate migration in a multi-ethnic, post-colonial migrant-sending country beyond the end of colonial rule, thistext is a key read for scholars of migration, citizenship, ethnicity, nationalism and post-colonialism studies.

Pressezitat
“Koh’s book provides a wealth of theoretical, empirical and contextual information that would be of value and appeal to a wide readership within and beyond migration, citizenship, postcolonial and Malaysian studies. Beyond its academic and policy contributions, Koh’s book will be of special interest to mobile Malaysians and other postcolonial migrants as it opens up a space for nostalgia, reflexivity and affirmation along various stages of the migration trajectory.” (I Lin Sin, Transitions: Journal of Transient Migration, October, 2018)“This book challenges existing literature on skilled migration and flexible citizenship by showing how such migration may be racialised and by highlighting the need to conceptualise migration and citizenship practices historically. … I strongly recommend this book for scholars interested in post-colonial studies, migration, citizenship and race, as well as anyone looking for a more nuanced insight into the formation of contemporary Malaysia.” (Fawzia Haeri Mazanderani, LSE Review of Books, blogs.lse.ac.uk, July, 2018)
“This is a commendably bold and critical book—critical of both British colonial policies and contemporary policies pursued by the Malaysian state. … ” (Johanna L. Waters, Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, May, 2018)
