Beskrivning
This book explores the evolving concept of diaspora in the 21st century, moving beyond traditional understandings of scattering and alienation to introduce the idea of “post-diaspora”. Through this new framework, it highlights how established migrant communities, particularly the Indian diaspora, has become influential, organised, and contribute significantly to both their homelands and host countries. Drawing on Indian migrants, it discusses how advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the presence of established diasporic networks create a “home away from home” for new migrants, fostering re-rooting and multiple belongings rather than just dislocation. The book also addresses the complexities of identity within these communities, including the experiences of minority groups and the shift from a desire to “return” to an emphasis on “engagement” with the homeland. With contributions from major scholars in the field, the book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of migration and diaspora studies, development studies, and South Asian studies.

Recensioner i media

This volume offers a critical rethinking of diaspora through the framework of post-diasporic engagements. Focusing on Indian diasporic experiences, essays in this book examine how diasporic subjects actively negotiate identity, power, and participation across transnational spaces shaped by processes of globalisation, inequality, and technological advancements. By foregrounding agency, hybridity, and everyday practices of engagement, this volume moves beyond symbolic notions of homeland to explore lived, multi-sited, multi-layered experiences of Indian diasporic communities. With attention to internal diversities and minority perspectives—such as caste, religion, gender, and disability—this book opens new directions in contemporary diaspora and global studies.- Prof. Amit Kumar Mishra,Ambedkar University Delhi, India.Fellow, Royal Historical Society UK.
