Migrants living in the Sangklaburi area were studied and their migration process shows the signs of a global social movement for human and employee rights. They escape ethnic cleansing to seek dignity of living and working but meet with oppression that is structurally determined. Ethnic identity supports their survival. With united beliefs and collective action their survival is enabled by formal and informal networks, and protests against stigma, systemic injustice, and discrimination in the home and host country. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | ICAS 6: 6th International Convention of Asian Scholars - Think Asia!, Daejeon, Korea, 6th - 9th August, 2009 | Source of Publication: | Presented at the 6th International Convention of Asian Scholars (ICAS 6) | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 160303 Migration 160803 Race and Ethnic Relations 160199 Anthropology not elsewhere classified |
