Introduction : marriage and migration in the new global economy -- The gift of modernity -- Convertibility -- Globalization as a gender strategy -- The matchmaker -- Money -- The two unmarriageables -- The highly unmarriageables -- Conclusion : for better or for worse
Marriage is currently the number-one reason people migrate to the United States, and women constitute the majority of newcomers joining husbands who already reside here. But little is known about these marriage and migration streams beyond the highly publicized and often sensationalized phenomena of mail-order and military brides. Less commonly known is that most international couples are immigrants of the same ethnicity. In For Better or For Worse, Hung Cam Thai takes a closer look at marriage and migration, with a specific focus on the unions between Vietnamese men living in the United State
