Asians in Diaspora and Diasporas in Asia

Description

Asians are everywhere. They move for education and economic betterment, while others are forcibly displaced. Home to nearly two-thirds of the world’s population, it is inevitable that this region sends out and receives a large share of global migrants. There are few corners of the world devoid of the presence and influence of this far-reaching diaspora.

This collection of essays from leading scholars and seasoned practitioners explores the journeys of modern Asian diasporas from a Christian perspective. Addressing relevant issues contextually, the authors cover pertinent topics such as justice amongst migrant workers, immigration policies, and climate migration, while simultaneously reflecting on the biblical perspective of diaspora. Timely and practical, this book reveals how God moves with Asian people, making himself known amongst them and through them.
