Vol. 1 No. 1 (2025): September 2025

We are delighted to launch the inaugural issue of Perantau: Journal of Migration, Borders, and Belonging (Vol. 1, No. 1, September 2025). This first edition features contributions from scholars in Singapore, France, and Indonesia, reflecting the journal’s international and interdisciplinary vision. The articles explore key themes such as migrant precarity, the politics of belonging, and the dynamics of borders and governance. Collectively, they enrich debates on migration in both global and regional contexts. As an open-access, peer-reviewed platform, Perantau aims to foster critical dialogue on mobility, rights, and identity. We thank our authors, reviewers, and editorial team.

Perantau: Journal of Migration, Borders, and Belonging is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal that publishes high-quality scholarly work on the diverse and complex dimensions of migration, border regimes, transnationalism, and belonging. The journal provides an interdisciplinary platform for original research, conceptual reflections, and policy-oriented studies that engage with contemporary and historical issues related to human mobility.

We welcome contributions from scholars working in fields such as international relations, anthropology, sociology, religious studies, legal studies, and area studies—especially those with a focus on Southeast Asia and the Global South. The journal emphasizes critical perspectives and encourages submissions that explore underrepresented voices and lived experiences in global migration discourses.
