South Asian Transnationalisms explores encounters in twentieth
century South Asia beyond the conventional categories of center and
periphery, colonizer and colonized. Considering the cultural and
political exchanges between artists and intellectuals of South Asia
with counterparts in the United States, continental Europe, the
Caribbean, and East Asia, the contributors interrogate the
relationships between identity and agency, language and space, race
and empire, nation and ethnicity, and diaspora and nationality.
This book deploys transnational syntaxes such as cinema, dance,
and literature to reflect on social, technological, and political
change. Conceiving of the transnational as neither liberatory nor
necessarily hegemonic, the authors seek to explore the
contradictions, opportunities, disjunctures, and exclusions of the
vexed experience of globalization in South Asia.
This book was published as a special issue of South Asian
History and Culture.
