Diaspora and Identity cover

This book investigates the identity issues of South Asians in the diaspora. It engages the theoretical and methodological debates concerning processes of culture and identity in the contemporary context of globalisation and transnationalism. It analyses the South Asian diaspora - a perfect route to a deeper understanding of contemporary socio-cultural transformations and the way in which information and communication technology functions as both a catalyst and indicator of such transformations. The book will be of interest to scholars of diaspora studies, cultural studies, international migration studies, and ethnic and racial studies.

This book is a collection of papers from the journal South Asian Diaspora.

"True to their claim of engaging readers to the theoretical and methodological issues concerning culture and identity in contemporary context, the selection of articles provide readers glimpses from everyday lived socio-cultural experience to theoretical debates. The first two chapters of the book mainly focused on theoretical issues that may be a little overwhelming for non-researchers, while chapters three to ten provide a wide spectrum of diasporic experiences from South Asia, America, Britain, Finland to Kenya."
