In recent years, there have been important
developments in migration scholarship. There is the
recognition of migrant networks in facilitating
migration. Migration is also no longer the exclusive
domain of men, as women are observed to play an
active role in organizing their own migration.
However, emphasis on migrant networks obscures how
migrants maintain active involvement with the people
and places they have left behind, and hence,
create identities and belongingness that span
national borders. There is also little research on
Japanese migrant women, in view of the rising
trend of Japanese women venturing overseas for
better socio-economic opportunities. In Sydney,
Japanese migrant women comprise two-thirds of
Japanese permanent residents. This book discusses
the migration and cross-cultural experiences of
these women how they create transnational social
spaces, shape new identities, and forge
belongingness embedded in networks of familial and
social relationships that connect them
simultaneously to Japan and Australia. This analysis
would be a useful point of reference for scholars of
migration, culture, gender, and diasporas.
