This book analyses the metaphysical and poetical notions and the
processes of 'rooting into a culture' and 'routing out of a
culture' in the context of South Asian diaspora in Australia. These
diasporic narratives are often characterised by bifurcated and
dislocated identities that exist in a liminal space, in-between two
identities, two cultures, and two histories. Yet, 'home' remains,
through acts of imagination, remembering and re-creation, an
important reference point. The author argues that a clearer notion
of politics of location is required to distinguish between the
different kinds of 'dislocation' the immigrants suffer, both
psychologically and sociologically. The diaspora is Australia is an
under-studied topic, and this book fills a lacuna in South Asian
diaspora studies by analysing and calling upon a wide range of
works in this field from historical, anthropological, sociological,
cultural, and literary studies.
