Reading Cultural Representations of the Double Diaspora: Britain,
East Africa, Gujarat is the first detailed study of the cultural
life and representations of the prolific twice-displaced Gujarati
East African diaspora in contemporary Britain. An exceptional
community of people, this diaspora is disproportionally successful
and influential in resettlement, both in East Africa and Britain.
Often showcased as an example of migrant achievement, their
accomplishments are paradoxically underpinned by legacies of trauma
and deracination. The diaspora, despite its economic success and
considerable upward social mobility in Britain, has until now been
overlooked within critical literary and postcolonial studies for a
number of reasons. This book attends to that gap. Parmar uniquely
investigates what it is to be not just from India, but too
Africa-how identity forms within, as the study coins, the "double
diaspora". Parmar focuses on cultural representation post-twice
migration, via an interdisciplinary methodology, offering new
contributions to debates within diaspora studies. In doing so, the
book examines a range of cultures produced amongst, or about, the
diaspora, including literary representations, culinary, dance and
sartorial practices, as well as visual materials.
