“The book clarifies the importance of mobile connectivity among a variety of immigrant groups, making the book relevant well beyond Asia. … The book’s greatest strengths are that it extends the focus of migration and mobile communication research from North America and Europe to Asia, and that it takes seriously the understudied groups of migrants. … the book aids understanding why people who cross borders and leave their families behind … have a firm grip on their smartphones.” (Sakari Taipale, Asian Journal of Communication, June, 2016)
