Cartographies of Diaspora - Contesting Identities (Hardcover)

This text introduces new ways of thinking about "difference", informed by feminism and post-structuralism, and addresses questions of culture, identity and politics. It examines these themes by exploring the intersections of "race", gender, class, sexuality, ethnicity, generation and nationalism in different discourses, practices and political contexts. The first three chapters map the emergence of "asian" as a racialized category in post-war British popular and political discourse and state practices. It documents Asian cultural and political responses paying particular attention to the role of gender and generation. The remaining six chapters analyses the debate on "difference", "diversity", and "diaspora" across different sites, but mainly within feminism, anti-racism, and post-structuralism. This book offers an innovative approach to the study of "difference" and "commonality", exploring and deconstructing questions of identity, culture and politics. By making theoretical and political links across these debates, it breaks new ground by offering a new conceptual framework to address these issues and concerns.
