This volume brings into focus a range of emergent issues related to
women in the Indian diaspora. The conditions propelling women's
migration and their experiences during the process of migration and
settlement have always been different and very specific to them.
Standing 'in-between' the two worlds of origin and adoption, women
tend to experience dialectic tensions between freedom and
subjugation, but they often use this space to assert independence,
and to redefine their roles and perceptions of self. The central
idea in this volume is to understand women's agency in addressing
and redressing the complex issues faced by them; in restructuring
the cultural formats of patriarchy and gender relations; managing
the emerging conflicts over what is to be transmitted to the
following generations,; renegotiating their domestic roles and
embracing new professional and educational successes; and adjusting
to the institutional structures of the host state. The essays
included in the volume discuss women in the Indian diaspora from
multidisciplinary perspectives involving social, economic,
cultural, and political aspects. Such an effort privileges
diasporic women's experiences and perspectives in the academia and
among policy makers.
