“Transnational Lives in Global Cities offers a timely and much-needed multi-sited analysis of the lived experience of transnational migrants in global cities. … With transnational migrants disproportionately moving to global cities and contributing to these cities’ globality, the knowledge produced in this book will undoubtedly be relevant for scholars within, and well beyond, migration, transnationalism, and urban studies.” (Yeo Si Jie Ivin, International Migration Review, April 8, 2020)
