This original collection demonstrates the importance of sporting
practices, spaces and leisure affiliations to understanding issues
around identity, (post-) migration, diaspora and transnationalism
for global South Asian populations. The chapters provide a critical
(re-) examination of the roles that sport plays within and in
relation to South Asian groups in the diaspora, and raises a series
of pertinent questions regarding the multifarious relationships
between sport and South Asianness. The chapters range across a wide
variety of disciplines, regions, sports and identifications. They
are in conversation with each other while showing the particularity
of each diasporic context and relationship to sport. The book
encompasses a number of global contexts from the "homeland" (India,
Pakistan, Afghanistan) to the diaspora (Fiji, Norway, the US, the
UK), and addresses a broad range of sporting contexts, including
basketball, boxing, cricket, cycling, field hockey, soccer and
golf. The chapters combine a range of qualitative methods,
including ethnography, auto-ethnography, participant observation,
memoir, interview and textual analysis (film, television and print
media). This collection comprises the latest cutting edge research
in the field, and will be essential reading for scholars and
students both of sport and South Asian diasporas. This book was
published as a special issue of South Asian Popular Culture.
