People on the Move: Rural-Urban Interaction in Sarawak

Based on participant observation and interviews in a village in Sarawak, spanning a decade, Ryoji Soda examines a range of themes connected to out-migration from the village. These include: the migrants living strategies in urban areas; their frequent moves between rural and urban areas; and kinship relations between rural and urban residents. Soda presents a fresh ethnographic perspective on human mobility, rural-urban interactions, development policy and family relations.Soda, Ryoji is the author of 'People on the Move: Rural-Urban Interaction in Sarawak', published 2007 under ISBN 9781920901967 and ISBN 1920901965.
