Based on a decade of observation and interviews in a Sarawak village, Ryoji Soda examines out-migration from the village. The themes include: the migrants?f living strategies in urban areas; their frequent moves between rural and urban areas; and kinship relations between rural and urban residents. This is a fresh ethnographic perspective on human mobility, rural-urban interactions, development policy and family relations.
