'Diaspora & Hybridity deals with those theoretical issues which
concern social theory and social change in the new millennium. The
volume provides a refreshing, critical and illuminating analysis of
concepts of diaspora and hybridity and their impact on multi-ethnic
and multi-cultural societies' - "Dr Rohit Barot, Department of
Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Bristol
"
What do we mean by 'diaspora' and 'hybridity'? Why are they
pivotal concepts in contemporary debates on race, culture and
society?
This book is an exhaustive, politically inflected, assessment of
the key debates on diaspora and hybridity. It relates the topics to
contemporary social struggles and cultural contexts, providing the
reader with a framework to evaluate and displace the key
ideological arguments, theories and narratives deployed in
culturalist academic circles today. The authors demonstrate how
diaspora and hybridity serve as problematic tools, cutting across
traditional boundaries of nations and groups, where trans-national
spaces for a range of contested cultural, political and economic
outcomes might arise.
Wide ranging, richly illustrated and challenging, it will be of
interest to students of cultural studies, sociology, ethnicity and
nationalism.
