"This is a book to dip into to find inspiration." (PPR,
May 2010)‘Students of international migrants typically focus
on the trials and tribulations of poor and low-skilled people in a
not very welcoming society. Their work, while valuable, does not
always reflect the intricacies of the processes of international
mobility and transnational connectivity as we know them today.
David Ley’s multi-level study is a welcome correction to this
one-sided representation. He carefully addresses the various
aspects of the complex lives of millionaire migrants, resulting in
a well-written and insightful book.’
—Jan Rath, Institute for Migration and Ethnic Studies (IMES),
University of Amsterdam
‘In Millionaire Migrants, David Ley once more demonstrates
his international leadership in the field of social and cultural
Geography, with this dazzling account of the transnational
circulatory flows of Chinese between East Asia and Canada. Ley sees
through the claims made for the success of business migration to
the rather more modest achievements underneath.’
—Ceri Peach, University of Oxford
