Asians in Diaspora and Diasporas in Asia
Asians are everywhere. They move for education and economic betterment, while others are forcibly displaced. Home to nearly two-thirds of the world’s population, it is inevitable that this region sends out and receives a large share of global migrants. There are few corners of the world devoid of the presence and influence of this far-reaching diaspora. This collection of essays from leading scholars and seasoned practitioners explores the journeys of modern Asian diasporas from a Christian perspective. Addressing relevant issues contextually, the authors cover pertinent topics such as justice amongst migrant workers, immigration policies, and climate migration, while simultaneously reflecting on the biblical perspective of diaspora. Timely and practical, this book reveals how God moves with Asian people, making himself known amongst them and through them.
Migration and Diaspora in Modern Asia

Release Date: 2011-03-07
Migration is at the heart of Asian history. For centuries migrants have tracked the routes and seas of their ancestors - merchants, pilgrims, soldiers and sailors - along the Silk Road and across the Indian Ocean and the China Sea. Over the last 150 years, however, migration within Asia and beyond has been greater than at any other time in history. Sunil S. Amrith's engaging and deeply informative book crosses a vast terrain, from the Middle East to India and China, tracing the history of modern migration. Animated by the voices of Asian migrants, it tells the stories of those forced to flee from war and revolution, and those who left their homes and their families in search of a better life. These stories of Asian diasporas can be joyful or poignant, but they all speak of an engagement with new landscapes and new peoples.
