• W274611737 abstract "Janet W. Salaff, Siu-Iun Wong, and Arent Greve. Hong Kong Movers and Stayers: Narratives of Family Migration. Urbana-Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 2010. 259 pp. Notes. References. Index. $30.00 sc. Hong Kong Movers and Stayers: Narratives of Family Migration is an interesting and important addition to the University of Illinois Press series Studies of World Migrations. This book looks ar the emigration from Hong Kong in the wake of the retrocession of Hong Kong to China in 1997. This is done at both a macro and micro level by using careful survey and interview data and seeking to complicate simple or universalizing theories surrounding migration patterns by grounding their research in institutional theory, transnationalism theory, and sociological analysis of indepth narratives. The authors began this research in 1991 in order to capture the emigration patterns of Hong Kong residents during the period from 1984 to the return of Hong Kong to China in 1997. They surveyed 1,552 residents and found that 12% of them had plans to emigrate, so it was not quite the mass exodus that might have been expected. Nine of these potential emigrants were then selected for in-depth interviewing, and the stories of their hopes, challenges and fears are presented in this volume. The book is divided into three parts which represent different experiences based largely on the class of immigrants, and it also identifies three levels of social institution, which are large-scale regulatory institutions, intermediate-level social relations, and more personal cognitive-cultural frames (217), that provide the framework for their analysis. The book's divisions, based on social class, are the Cosmopolitans, the Rooted, and the Working Class, each of which relates the story of three families from those categories. Each class, however, has its own sets of challenges and the common core value of unity and the goal of creating the best conditions for the thriving of that and its networks. The institutions that they describe include Hong Kong political and social institutions and the family--the Chinese in particular--as an institution with varying family scripts that shape their migration trajectories and how they adjust and react in unique ways. The strong ties play a part in the majority of the migrant narratives. Migration stories are not simple point A to point B stories, and this is captured in rich detail in the book. The three Cosmopolitan families, with their skills, education, and global connections, still had settlement issues, some of which were resolved and one of which resulted in reverse immigration. The three Rooted families demonstrated not just what immigrants gain through their emigration, but what they leave behind, and that adaptation to changes in one's home country might be easier than adapting to a new country. …" @default.
