“This edited volume contributes to the recent trend of recognizing children as social actors, rendering them more visible in migration studies. ... Mobile Childhoods in Filipino Transnational Families is a good read for migration scholars and researchers interested in the study of children and youth.” (Fiona-Katharina Seiger, International Journal of Asian Studies, Vol. 14 (2), July, 2017)
