This edited collection examines culture and identity in Indian
diaspora communities in Southeast Asia, and the UK. Using
methodologies such as transnational and diaspora studies, history,
autoethnography and family histories, the contributions here
explore the movements of people from the Indian subcontinent across
generations to a wide range of countries. Cultural practices
including the use of performance, food, rituals, religion,
education, employment, and names demonstrate how identities and
practices are preserved, as well as adapted, in new contexts. This
offers original insights into transnational movements of people,
and how culture becomes a major part in the formation of a
diaspora. The focus on Southeast Asia creates new knowledge by
shifting the theoretical focus towards a region that shows great
multiplicity in Indian migrant populations over a considerable
period of time, but which has remained under-researched. The
chapters on the UK act as a counterpoint to this, and contribute to
the complex picture of shifting borders and practices across
nations and generations.
