Valuable information on recyclable waste
This article examines how the scrap-handling/recycling system in Myanmar has adopted mobile telephony in its day-to-day operations, and how this has led to a rationalization of the sector. It focuses on work processes, information and price retrieval, risk management, efficiency, and coordination. Scrap-handlers and ragpickers in four townships of Myanmar were interviewed in three phases of fieldwork, and their mobile phone use was also observed.…
New dynamics of multinational migration
The emerging literature on multinational migration highlights migratory journeys that involve more than one country of destination. This article focuses on the lived experiences of new Chinese and Indian migrants in Singapore and Los Angeles. We conduct a novel three-way comparison to examine personal choices to engage in additional migration(s) and to consider the reasons behind such moves. Drawing on in-depth interviews and analyses of policy d…

Most of these studies deal with rumour at the propositional level, such that the rumouring or rumour-rebutting subject invariably belongs…

Three factors were used to define the host society‟s acculturation orientation towards migrant outgroups: natio…
Mobile/Social Media Use for Political Purposes Among Migrant Laborers in Singapore
Political participation has generally been evaluated among civic resident populations using the indices of voting and campaign participation. However, migrants’ engagement with politics in their home country has become increasingly virtual with the advent of mobile/social media, suggesting a need to go beyond traditional theorizations. This article tries to understand how affordances of new media are leveraged by migrants with different political…
Migrant mothering and mobile phones
Transnational mothers working in foreign countries face the challenges of providing “intensive” mothering to their children from a distance, and risk being subject to the “deviancy” discourse of mothering. This paper investigates the role of mobile phone usage, via voice, text messages, and social networking sites, in dealing with the tensions and ambivalence arising from transnational mothering as a dialectical process. We surveyed 42 Filipina a…
