Indian Classical Dance and the Making of Postcolonial National
Identities explores what happens when a national-cultural
production is reproduced outside the immediate social, political
and cultural context of its origin. Whereas most previous studies
have analysed Indian classical dance in the context of Indian
history and culture, this volume situates this dance practice in
the longstanding trasnational linkages between India and the UK.
What is the relation between the contemporary performance of Indian
classical dance and the constitution of national, diasporic and
multicultural identity? Where and how does Indian dance derive its
productive power in the postcolonial moment? How do diasporic and
nationalist representations of Indian culture intersect with
depictions of British culture and politics? It is argued that
classical Indian dance has become a key aspect of not only
postcolonial South Asian diasporic identities, but also of British
multicultural and transnational identity. Based on an extensive
ethnographic study of performances of Indian classical dance in the
UK, this book will be of interest to scholars of anthropology,
sociology, South Asian studies, Postcolonial, Transnational and
Cultural studies, and Theatre and Performance studies.
