Reviews
“Written with the emphatic voice of a migrant herself, Catherine Gomes offers us compelling insights into the lived experiences of transient migrants as they negotiate new territories and a shifting sense of self. Her concept of siloed diversity provides a fresh lens for understanding the complexities of migrants' identity formation and assertion in a technologically-mediated world.” (Sun Sun Lim, Professor of Media & Communication, and Head of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore)
