In this comprehensive and thoroughly researched edited volume, Hy Van Luong offers readers the culmination of two interconnected and timely projects on rural-urban migration, urbanization, and poverty with attention to specific regional and sociocultural dynamics in Vietnam. In Hồ Chí Minh City, research sites in Cầu Kho, Tân Bình, and Bình Chánh illuminate the underlying factors of urban poverty, income inequality, and access to health care and credit markets. In Long An and Quảng Ngãi provinces, the study reveals the importance of social and kinship networks in facilitating urban integration.
