This book introduces readers to the many dimensions of historical
and contemporary Indian transnationalism and the experiences of
migrants and workers to reveal the structures of transnationalism
and the ways in which Indian origin groups are affected. The
concept of crossing borders emerges as an important theme, along
with the interweaving of life in geographic and web spaces. The
authors draw from a variety of archives and intellectual
perspectives in order to map the narratives of Indian
transnationalism and analyse the interplay of culture and
structures within transnational contexts. The topics covered range
from the history of transnational networks, activism, identity,
gender, politics, labour, policy, performance, literature and more.
This collection presents a wide array of issues and debates which
will reinvigorate discussions about Indian transnationalism. This
handbook will be an invaluable resource for academics, researchers,
and students interested in studying South Asia in general and the
Indian diaspora in particular.
The geographical diversity of the Indian diaspora has been shaped
against the backdrop of the historical forces of colonialism,
nationalism and neoliberal globalization. In each of these global
moments, the demand for Indian workers has created the multiple
global pathways of the Indian diasporas. The Routledge Handbook of
the Indian Diaspora introduces readers to the contexts and
histories that constitute the Indian diaspora. It brings together
scholars from different parts of the globe, representing various
disciplines, and covers extensive spatial and temporal terrain.
Contributors draw from a variety of archives and intellectual
perspectives in order to map the narratives of the Indian diaspora.
The topics covered range from the history of diasporic communities,
activism, identity, gender, politics, labour, policy, violence,
performance, literature and branding. The handbook analyses a wide
array of issues and debates and is organised in six parts: *
Histories and trajectories * Diaspora and infrastructures *
Cultural dynamics * Representation and identity * Politics of
belonging * Networked subjectivities and transnationalism.
Providing a comprehensive analysis of the diverse social, cultural
and economic contexts that frame diasporic practices, this key

diaspora, its global presence and trajectories. It will be an
invaluable resource for academics, researchers and students
