Title: | Multiple mobilities and entrepreneurial modalities among Chinese marriage migrants in Malaysia | Contributor(s): | Lu, Melody C W (author); Zhang, Juan (author); Chee, Heng Lee (author); Yeoh, Brenda S A (author) | Publication Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1177/0011392115594466 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/18937 | Abstract: | This research focuses on the migration trajectories of mainland Chinese women marriage migrants in Malaysia. It finds that their migratory motivations and pathways reveal formerly overlooked mobility patterns that depart from the institutionally organized, commercially arranged, or kinship and social network-mediated migration patterns. The authors argue that the state's attempts to grow its regulatory capacity, the increasing 'cost' of legality and the multiplying of illegal-but-licit spaces through which migrants can navigate produce particular forms of mobile subjectivities which the authors broadly term 'entrepreneurial'. The aim in this article is to begin to fill this gap in scholarship on entrepreneurialism and feminized migration with an ethnographic study of these gendered entrepreneurial strategies. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Current Sociology, 64(3), p. 411-429 | Publisher: | Sage Publications Ltd | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1461-7064 0011-3921 |
