Abstract: | Amidst a record influx of refugees from the Middle East and Africa into Europe, it is puzzling to notice that many are making their journeys with almost nothing but a smartphone. Families are left behind, yet smartphones travel along. Mobile communication and the family: Asian experiences in technology domestication, an anthology compiled by rising media scholar Sun Sun Lim, unfolds the everyday realities of such diasporic families by investigating their mobile communication practices in Asia. In so doing, the book clarifies the importance of mobile connectivity among a variety of immigrant groups, making the book relevant well beyond Asia. |
