I am doing research in rural villages in Cambodia and exploring issues of gender, migration, labor and poverty. If you can refer me to any good research, I would much appreciate it. I am particularly interested in push/pull factors for informal migration, notions of self-worth and self-esteem on decisions to migrate, and gender factors on perceptions of community issues, vulnerability, and agency.
Dear Robert! One of the possible lenses to analyze it is using Homi Bhabha's work. He is Asian and he has a postcolonial approach to understand the identity production in the postcolonial world, specifically his concept of hybridity identities.
Professor Susan Kneebone has also done some work in this field. See, for example: http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2356722
