East Asians are one of the fastest growing transnational migrant populations in the world today. And with East Asian communities thriving across the world - from Great Britain, the United States and Israel to South Africa and Brazil - their role in their 'host' countries has become ever-more important when considering today's global economy. How has this happened? What kinds of social environments have East Asian migrants been facing in their 'host' nations? East Asian Transnational Migrants and Culture in a Global World offers analysis of the contemporary and historical roles played by East Asian transnational migrants and their children in the cultural, social, political and economic development of both their 'host' countries and their countries of ethnic origin. With its examination of identity formation, the development of ethnic communities and internationalisation and transnationalism, this volume is vital for those examining nationalism and ethnic identity in the modern world
