Passport Entanglements

"There are few discussions specifically about passports among migrant workers, so this is a very welcome contribution and important investigation."--Gordon Mathews, author of Ghetto at the Center of the World: Chungking Mansions, Hong Kong "Passport Entanglements is a necessary and concrete intervention in critical studies of mobility and migration. Through rich ethnographic work and sharp analysis, Nicole Constable manages to bring together the urgent question of identification and its relation to hegemonic mobility regimes through the specific artifact of the passport and its extensive, complex, and entangled role within the everyday lives of Indonesian migrant workers in Hong Kong."--Mahmoud Keshavarz, author of The Design Politics of the Passport: Materiality, Immobility, and Dissent
