Excellent- More about The EU Migrant Generation in Asia: Middle-Class Aspirations in Asian Global Cities
This book explores the experiences of young Europeans who migrated to Singapore and Tokyo in the 2010s, highlighting the complexities of establishing life in Asia as a European. It demonstrates how migration to these business centers has become a way for young Europeans to distinguish themselves and pursue alternative routes of middle-class reproduction. The perceived insecurities of life in the EU lead many migrants to onward migration or prolonged stays in Asia, seeking lifestyles and professional opportunities that are no longer exclusively available in Europe or the West.

Drawing on extensive research conducted with young individuals who migrated to Singapore and Tokyo in the 2010s, this captivating book delves into the intricate tapestry of friendships, emotions, hopes, and fears that accompany the establishment of life as Europeans in Asia. It vividly showcases how migration to Asian business centers has emerged as a means of distinction, offering a unique path for young Europeans to navigate the middle class and reproduce their social status. The perceived insecurities stemming from the crisis-ridden EU have driven these migrants to pursue onward migration or extended stays in Asia, seeking solace and opportunities in these vibrant regions.
This pioneering work not only sheds light on the evolving roles of Singapore and Japan as migration destinations but also makes a compelling case for EU citizens seeking lifestyles and professional opportunities that are no longer solely confined to Europe or the West. It underscores the transformative power of migration and the potential it holds for individuals to reshape their destinies and pursue their aspirations on a global scale.
Through poignant narratives and insightful analysis, this book offers a valuable perspective on the experiences of young Europeans in Asia, providing a deeper understanding of the complexities and challenges they face as they navigate a new cultural landscape. It serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of human beings in the face of change and a call to embrace the diversity and richness of the world around us.
