This book challenges this assumption by examining the diverse  migration trajectories, experiences and dilemmas faced by tertiary-educated  mobile Malaysian migrants through a postcolonial lens. 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, this text is a key read for scholars of migration,  citizenship, ethnicity, nationalism and postcolonialism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-10-17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349699896\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-50344-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 293\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752370040972,"sku":"9781349699896","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349699896.jpg?v=1776549085","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781349699896","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
