Publisher's summary

Every human being is part of a bigger family, which is figuratively represented by the family tree. We have roots that extend beyond places and cultures of our current residences. This is particularly true for people in diaspora. Our roots still weigh a lot into our everyday living irrespective of geographical distance and time. Thus, would it not be beneficial to know and explore the advantages in our roots and avoid losing out, and losing deep? This is the main message of this book, Voices from Home: Wisdom from our Diasporic Roots.

•This book will provide inspiration, some incentives, and a compass for teachable minds to explore and tap into the wealth of their roots.

•It provides insights on the key dynamics and interplay of cultures, underpinning motivations, and extended family structures of typical first-generation migrants.

•It informs global audiences about lived experiences of people of migrant backgrounds starting with the Australian context.

•It contributes to the value-adding conversations around the themes of identity, cross-cultural intelligence, sustainable migration, etc.

•It provides hints and tips for relevant policy makers, service providers, and other government officials, especially in the areas of sustainable migration.

•It is a resource material for intending, new, and emerging migrants as part of preparations for their migration journeys, as well as references for lessons learnt so they can position themselves for more meaningful experiences.
