"The History of South-East Asia Migration" provides a comparative analysis of 19th and 21st century migration in Southeast Asia. By exploring the diverse factors that drive migration across time, the project delves into the forces that have contoured Southeast Asia. People leave home both as a free decision and because they have no other alternative; ideas and cultures are both gained and lost through these migrations. The situation is complex: how can Southeast Asia mitigate unwanted displacement and yet celebrate the rich cultural exchange that voluntary migration fosters?
