“…this book is a worthy addition to migration research and Asian studies. It is warmly recommended to scholars, advanced graduate students, and anyone else interested in people on the move in Asia and beyond.” · Journal of Royal Anthropological Institute“Wind Over Water is the most up-to-date edited compilation on migration in East Asia, successfully raises a range of theoretical and methodological issues, and shines the spotlight on new fields of inquiry that will surely spur further research.” · International Migration Review“In sixteen substantive chapters, this collection presents a dramatic picture of the diversity of Asian mobility…all the studies are worth reading…[They offer] an introductory overview, which should whet the reader’s appetite to explore the themes further.” · The Journal of Asian Studies“The book represents the culmination of a series of interdisciplinary conversations between East Asian and North American scholars and presents case studies that demonstrate the complexity and fluidity in contemporary migrations in East Asia, including Vietnam and Singapore…[It] will be a useful resource for academics and postgraduate students in migration and social policy.” · Ethnic and Racial Studies“This collection of essays…should be welcomed by a broad audience, such as academics and practitioners interested in migration and ethnicity. Given its timely content and tight writing style, the editors should be commended for their enterprising entry into the important field of international migration studies, and for compiling an insightful and engaging book.” · Pacific Affairs
