Millionaire migrants: trans-Pacific life lines (RGS-IBG Book Series)

Millionaire migrants: trans-Pacific life lines (RGS-IBG Book Series) Asian Geographer, 2013 Vol. 30, No. 1, 81–84 BOOK REVIEW Millionaire migrants: trans-Pacific life lines (RGS-IBG Book Series), by David Ley, UK, Wiley-Blackwell, 2011, xi + 328 pp., US$39.95 (paperback), ISBN 978-1-4051-9292-7 The idea of writing this book review stems from a forum “Author Meets Critics”, in which five geographers with shared interest in transnational migration participated. The two present reviewers, both panelists of the forum, decided to take up the challenge of writing this review for the benefit of the readers who are interested in the book. Culminating from Ley’s 15 years of research, this book is the most comprehensive treatment of business immigrants in Canada that we have ever read. In addition to his own extensive research and analysis, the author incorporates contributions of his past and present graduate and post-doctoral students, through their thesis work, as research assistants, or as commentators on all or part of the manuscript (p. x). Vancouver, the city where the author lives and works, and the preferred destination of wealthy migrants, provides the “compelling laboratory for a study of transnational migration (xi)” and sets the stage for the investigation of a timely subject on million- aire migrants. The book therefore befits http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Asian Geographer Taylor & Francis
