"Bringing together a wide range of scholarship on Asian transnationalism in the post-World War II era, this handbook moves beyond US exceptionalism to examine migrant communities in Russia, for example, and is similarly noteworthy for its inclusion of less well-studied groups such as the Uzbek and Kazakh diasporas."Emma J. Teng Director, Global Languages, and T.T. and Wei Fong Chao Professor of Asian Civilizations, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA"A rich tapestry on Asian transnationalism, this Handbook weaves together diverse locations and issues across the globe. It spans regions such as East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Antipodes, on the one hand, and, on the other, microcosmic intricacies of the Hmong communities, Uzbeks in Russia, Tibetan self-immolation, just to name a few. The broad transnational canvas on refugees, overseas students, and immigrants and their children is meticulously painted through the interdisciplinary lens of sociology, politics, economics, psychology, ethnic studies, and art."Sheng-mei Ma Professor of English, Michigan State University, Michigan, USA
