Abstract
Abstract This special issue of Asian Anthropology gathers five studies that deal with how the Covid-19 pandemic disruptions impacted on a distinctive social group in a particular geopolitical context: white migrants in China. While the articles reveal in fascinating detail how this combination of people and place is in many ways unique in terms of their experiences of, and responses to, the pandemic, the collection also speaks to larger themes of migration, citizenship, inequality, precarity and vulnerability, and the role of race within these.
期刊介绍:
Asian Anthropology seeks to bring interesting and exciting new anthropological research on Asia to a global audience. Until recently, anthropologists writing on a range of Asian topics in English but seeking a global audience have had to depend largely on Western-based journals to publish their works. Given the increasing number of indigenous anthropologists and anthropologists based in Asia, as well as the increasing interest in Asia among anthropologists everywhere, it is important to have an anthropology journal that is refereed on a global basis but that is editorially Asian-based. Asian Anthropology is editorially based in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, but welcomes contributions from anthropologists and anthropology-related scholars throughout the world with an interest in Asia, especially East Asia as well as Southeast and South Asia. While the language of the journal is English, we also seek original works translated into English, which will facilitate greater participation and scholarly exchange. The journal will provide a forum for anthropologists working on Asia, in the broadest sense of the term "Asia". We seek your general support through submissions, subscriptions, and comments.
