This book specifically looks at the upwardly mobile middle class transient migrants studying and working in two of the Asia-Pacific´s most desirable transient migration destinations - Australia and Singapore - providing a cutting edge study of the identities transient migrants create and maintain while overseas and the strategies they use to cope with life in transience.mehr
