>>Dear Friends,
>>
>>The Asian Migrant Centre (AMC) will release next week the maiden issue of
>>our Asian Migrant Yearbook (AMY) 1998. AMY 98 is a 170-page yearbook which
>>contains reports on the situation of migrant workers in 16 Asian countries.
>>It also has special sections on globalisation and migration, violence
>>against women migrants, trafficking, churches' response, and the impact of
>>the Asian crisis on migrants. For subscription information, email us at
>><amc at hk.super.net>.
>>
>>One section of AMY 98 will be "A Year After: Surveying the Impact of the
>>Asian Crisis on Migrant Workers". This is a 10-page report on the effects
>>of the ongoing crisis on migrants. It highlights some of the quatitative
>>effects on workers and migrants in Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, South
>>Korea, Malaysia, Hong Kong, etc. Our analysis is that the ongoing turmoil
>>is not simply a "financial" or "currency" crisis, but a comprehensive
>>economic and social crisis which has become more vicious and widespread
>>because of the unrelenting drive of these countries towards neoliberal
>>global economic integration.
>>
>>Please email us if you want an advance file copy (in MS Word 6.0 format) of
>>the Asian crisis paper.
>>
>>You can also visit our (recently launched) website at
>><http://www.hk.super.net/~mrhr> for additional information on Asian migrant
>>workers.
>>
>>Thank you very much.
