In the midst of refugee crises, terrorist attacks and territorial
disputes across the globe, nationalism remains a powerful force in
generating affects of inclusion and exclusion. In Asia, inter-Asian
migration, enabled and disrupted by a history of colonialism,
capitalist globalization and political conflicts, has rendered the
idea of nation as both politically distinct and culturally
malleable. Precarious Belongings: Affect and Nationalism in Asia
explores the affective politics of Asian nationalism by addressing
the entwined structures of precarious belonging and national
feelings. Bringing together leading scholars it looks at how the
reification of nationalism in social movements, popular sentiments,
online groups, and cultural representation directs hatred towards
migrant and minority groups across Asia. The book posits that
nationalist affects are embedded in the politics of exclusion, and
seeks to make room for precarious belongings in the transnational
and multicultural present. It should be of interest to students and
scholars interested in Asian Cultural Studies, transnationalism,
migration and nationalism.
