The title of this book - Changing Worlds, Changing Nations -
underlines the transforming status of the discourse on nationalism
and transnationalism. The book focuses on how the realities and
identities of people are influenced by the changes taking place in
the various dimensions of nation-states. The term
'transnationalism' sounds simplistic, yet it is not so explicit in
nature and is apparently enveloped in a myriad of confounding
applications. Transnationalism, as it is largely understood, is a
concept that disrupts and scatters the idea of centrality and
periphery. It may be properly conceived as: a kind of relationship
between nation-states, a crossing of national borders, a
cultural/political interplay between different national cultures,
or a mode of mobility of trans/national subjects. To be more
precise, transnationalism means a form of multi-nationalism;
something that shares cultural connections with more than one
nation. Changing Worlds, Changing Nations consists of 13
contributions that consider the feasibility of nation-states in a
transnational era and examine the role of language and culture in
seeking a new identity. The book focuses on the Indian context as a
case study of the thematic, but it extends this nationalistic
framework to reflect on other, wider contexts. The hope is that the
book as a whole, and the individual articles on their own, will
spark new discussions and analyses of literary works in view of
transnationalism. There is an ethical call that needs to be
addressed in order to maintain the relevance of discussions of
post-colonial and transnational issues.
