      title = {Student mobilities and international education in Asia :  emotional geographies of knowledge spaces /},
      abstract = {"This is a beautifully written work that sets the  imagination alight. Its inquiry into space/borders/emotions  is at the cutting edge of studies of mobility. In bringing  their student subjects alive for us, Sidhu, Ho and Yeoh  have placed student movement and regional identity within  Asia at the centre of world attention."--Simon Marginson,  Professor of Higher Education, University of Oxford, UK,  and Director of the ESRC/OFSRE Centre for Global Higher  Education This book investigates why students choose to  study in key Asian cities, and how this trend relates to  the strategic intent of states and universities to build  'knowledge economies' and 'world-class' profiles. Drawing  on substantial theoretical and empirical research, the  authors examine the emotional geographies of East Asian  international education, and offer new analytical insights  into the relations between emotions, nation and  subjectivity. The book challenges Eurocentric views of Asia  as a space of volatile nationalist rivalries. By offering  richly textured portraits of mobile students, it questions  contemporary memes about the utility-maximising Asian  learner. This is a thought-provoking text that will appeal  to university researchers, academics and students  interested in the changing architectures of international  education. Ravinder K.
