Produktbeschreibung

While marriage has lost its popularity in many developed countries and is no longer an obligatory path to family formation, it has gained momentum among binational couples as states reinforce their control over human migration. Focusing on the case of Southeast Asian women who have been epitomized on the global marriage market as 'ideal' brides and wives, this volume examines these women's experiences of international marriage, migration and state's governmentality. This book will appeal to social scientists with interests in migration, family formation, the sociology of intimate relations and gender.
