The age of imperialism ushered in a new phenomenon of large-scale
organized migration of labourers through the systems of slavery and
indenture, which were devised to feed the colonial
political-economy. Another feature of such migrations was that it
led to the permanent settlement of the uprooted African and Asian
labourers in the new lands. These developments, in the long run,
intertwined the histories of the 'ruler' and the 'ruled', the
so-called 'civilized' and the 'uncivilized' along with the people
from various continents, thus giving rise to plural societies. The
narratives, however, remained dominated by the colonial legacies
and frames of reference. Today such historical colonial narratives
are being challenged and clarified through multi-disciplinary
academic engagements. The authors in this volume take gender as a
prominent analytical category and raise new questions and
understandings in the way we conceptualize, document and write
about gendered migrations in the diaspora. Please note: Taylor
& Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India,
Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
