Sahoo, this anthology unites a plethora of global scholars to scrutinize the complex roles played by immigrants hailing from Asian diasporic and transnational backgrounds, influencing both their countries of residence and their places of origin. The book is masterfully segmented into five pivotal sections, dissecting themes such as the developmental opportunities presented by Asian diasporas, links to their homelands, generational shifts and gender perspectives, the nuances of soft power and activism, in addition to the portrayal of these communities in the media. By embracing an interdisciplinary lens, this handbook not only showcases pioneering research but also propels further dialogue across various domains, including migration studies, diaspora analysis, racial dynamics, and Asian studies. For those eager to grasp the intricate connections between diaspora and development, this volume emerges as an indispensable asset.
