Cross-Border Marriages and Educational Trajectories
Japanese Marriage Migrant Families in Northeast and Southeast Asia
Book Description
This edited book offers an in-depth analysis of the educational experiences and strategies of Japanese families in cross-border marriages across six countries in East and Southeast Asia: South Korea, Taiwan, China, Thailand, the Philippines, and Singapore.
Chapters examine how these families address the challenges of cultural identity, educational decision-making and social integration in their home and host countries.
The case studies incorporate the perspectives of both the immigrant and host-country spouse, providing a comprehensive examination of how families make educational decisions for children and negotiate the social, economic and cultural conditions prevailing in the places of origin, domicile or destination.
The book also sheds light on Japanese male immigrants and brings into focus matters concerning gender roles in cross-border marriages, and the education of children in these marriages.
It will be of interest to academics and advanced students in the areas of sociology of education, migration studies and anthropology.
