'Social scientists and others both academic and practicing from Asia and Australia look at a wide range of topics relating to work and migration. With the exception of a study on Nepal as a source of migrants to Hong Kong, their case studies are confined to East and Southeast Asia. The underlying themes are globalization and migration; migrant workers, trafficking, and the state; and policy-making and migrant labor.' - Reference & Research Book News'The case studies presented in the collection remains very impressive and definitely contribute to our knowledge of the subject ... suitable for academics, professionals and students.' - Magdalene Kong, National University of Singapore
