Transnational Divorce: Understanding Intimacies and Inequalities from Singapore: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Transnational Divorce: Understanding Intimacies and Inequalities from Singapore" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book explores the transnational aspects of divorce experiences.


Transnational Divorce uncovers the stories of four main groups of transnational divorcees at the field site of Singapore, including low-income marriage migrant women from less wealthy countries, low-income citizen men, middle-class living apart together divorced parents and overseas-based citizen divorced mothers. Employing transnational, intersectional feminist perspectives, the book extends the authors earlier conceptualisation of divorce biography to propose a new framework of transnational divorce biography. The transnational divorce biography framework provides readers a useful analytical tool to make sense of transnational divorced individuals messy experiences in working out their transborder intimacy practices. Meandering through their accounts, the author weaves together a strong narrative of inequalities and privileges at the site of intimate life. The book ends with an epilogue on fire dragon feminism where the author discusses place-based feminist mission of activism and resistance.


Transnational Divorce will appeal to researchers and policy makers interested in transnational relationships, family studies and sociology in general.

I am eternally grateful to Shawna Tang, my shining star, soul mate, mentor, anchor, best friend, lifetime companion, caregiver, cheerleader, and extension. She sustains me with her lovingly prepared breakfasts, nightly brewed tea, patient counsel during our daily conversations and walks, intellectual discussions on this book and other research projects, emotional labour in anticipating my fibromyalgia flare-ups, and many caregiving hours in tending to my worn-out body. I wake up every morning to a deep acknowledgement of how lucky I am to have her in my life.
I am thankful for all 50 respondents who generously shared their stories with me and courageously presented their vulnerabilities and humanity to me. Their stories will stay with me.
I am grateful to be well assisted and supported by a feminist, thoughtful, competent, and dedicated research assistant Raksha Mahtani during the fieldwork research stage in Singapore. Her feminist spirit and learning is inspirational.
I would like to acknowledge the research funding support by Singapore Ministry of Social and Family Developments Family Research Fund for the research project An exploratory study on Singaporean divorcees from transnational marriages during the period of 20142016. I also acknowledge that the funding body does not endorse the project findings, methods, or results in any way, and that any views, findings, or results arising from the research project in this publication are strictly my own.
I would like to acknowledge the institutional and administrative support of National University of Singapore, Asia Research Institute, where the research project was carried out, and University of Wollongong where this book was written.
I am continually inspired by and thankful for the dynamic, fearless, gracious, and kind feminist mentors in my academic career. Professor Wei-Jun Jean Yeung, my former research cluster leader during my postdoctoral and subsequent research fellowships at National University of Singapore (NUS), Asia Research Institute (ARI), provided me with immense support and kind mentorship. An exemplary leader, she role-modelled how to mentor junior colleagues and provide opportunities for them to thrive. Professor Fiona Probyn-Rapsey, my former Head of School at University of Wollongong (UOW), School of Humanities and Social Inquiry (HSI), moved me with her fiery feminist activism, unwavering commitment, and courageous leadership. She took the lead in making bold steps out of comfort zones to do the right thing, give up privileges, and fight for those less supported by the systems.
