The growing importance of the Indian diaspora is felt today across
the globe due to its emergence as the second-largest diasporic
community. By examining historical, socio-cultural, economic,
political, and literary aspects of the Indian diaspora, this volume
sets out to trace the latest developments in the field of Indian
diaspora studies. It brings together essays by Indian and foreign
scholars, thus providing an authoritative platform for discussions
in which identities and affiliations are contested and constituted
through the hierarchies of cross-cultural migration in this
increasingly globalized world. This volume traces the transnational
network of the Indian diaspora, and will prove of interest to
scholars working in the fields of the Indian diaspora, diaspora
theory, and cultural studies. Countries covered include Mauritius,
Fiji, Singapore, Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, the UK,
Ireland, the USA, Canada, Malaya, South Africa, and New Zealand.
Creative writers discussed include Ramabai Espinet, Vikram Chandra,
Rohinton Mistry, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Nisha Ganatra, Jhumpa
Lahiri, Kavery Nambisan, and Sarita Mandanna, along with the work
of filmmakers (Mira Nair, Yash Chopra, Kabir Khan, Shuchi Kothari,
Mandrika Rupa, Karan Johar, Sugu Pillay, Mallika Krishnamurthy, and
Nisha Ganatra).
