- Abstract
"Irregular Migrants and the Sea at the Borders of Sabah, Malaysia: Pelagic Alliance" by Vilashini Somiah is a book that explores the relationship between irregular migrants and the sea in Sabah, Malaysia. The author highlights the multiple ecologies of belonging that emerge in this maritime Southeast Asian periphery. The book provides ethnographic richness and sheds sociological light on the everyday lives of vulnerable and marginalized populations in Sabah. It examines the experiences of migrants from the southern Philippines' Sulu Sea and delves into issues of affect, intimacy, gender ideology, and the experiences of Sabah-born children of irregular migrants. Overall, the book offers a unique perspective on irregular migration and is a valuable resource for those studying Southeast Asia.
