The Sun Never Sets collects the work of a generation of scholars
who are enacting a shift in the orientation of the field of South
Asian American studies. By focusing upon the lives, work, and
activism of specific, often unacknowledged, migrant populations,
the contributors present a more comprehensive vision of the South
Asian presence in the United States. Tracking the changes in global
power that have influenced the paths and experiences of migrants,
from expatriate Indian maritime workers at the turn of the century,
to Indian nurses during the Cold War, to post-9/11 detainees and
deportees caught in the crossfire of the "War on Terror," these
essays reveal how the South Asian diaspora has been shaped by the
contours of U.S. imperialism. Driven by a shared sense of
responsibility among the contributing scholars to alter the profile
of South Asian migrants in the American public imagination, they
address the key issues that impact these migrants in the U.S., on
the subcontinent, and in circuits of the transnational economy.
Taken together, these essays provide tools with which to understand
the contemporary political and economic conjuncture and the place
of South Asian migrants within it.
