Acknowledgements
This book was made possible by the help and support of a number
of people. I would like to thank the reviewers who provided useful
suggestions and encouraging remarks about the original proposal.
I am also grateful to Brian Willan at Willan Publishing for guiding
the manuscript through to publication with much enthusiasm and
patience.
The idea for this edited book came about as a result of conversations
with Marla Asis and Nicola Piper at the 'Migrations in Asia and
Europe' conference organised by the Scalabrini Migration Centre in
the Philippines in January 2005. The Department of Sociology at the
Universities of Essex and Hong Kong have provided an intellectually
stimulating and convivial environment in which to pursue the book
project. Much of the work was facilitated by a grant from the British
Academy and generous sabbatical leave from the University of Essex
in the winter of 2005. Colleagues and friends have supported and
advised me during the course of preparing this book. I am particularly
grateful to Eugene McLaughlin, Loraine Gelsthorpe, Maurice Punch,
Tim Newburn, Rob Stones, and Thomas Wong. This edited volume
has been a truly international collaborative effort. New friendships
have been forged and new joint scholarly endeavours developed in
the process. I am deeply appreciative of the contributing authors for
their commitment to the book project, for working to the deadlines,
and for offering their outstanding contributions to this collection.
