This volume questions the idea that the nation-state is the only
available form of community, and challenges its hegemonic control
over forms of socio-cultural belonging. The contributions here
explore cross-cultural and transnational encounters which highlight
narratives that escape the neat boundaries constructed by
nationalities. They complicate our understanding of peoples and
groups and the varying spaces they inhabit by allowing narratives
that have been made invisible, due to hegemonic national control,
to emerge. This volume throws light on moments of cultural
encounters in the Global South, specifically South Asia, South-east
Asia, West Asia, and Latin America, exploring what happens when
diverse communities come together to challenge the notion that
claiming national identity is the only acceptable mode of being,
belonging, and existing in the world. In doing so, the book reveals
other radically innovative forms of attaining cohesion and
identity.
