Beskrivning

Indian Transnationalism: Gender, Culture, and Identity delves into the challenges and creative transformations faced by Indians as they forge new lives abroad, offering a fresh and critical perspective on belonging in an interconnected world. The book brings together insights on ethnonational identity, gender roles, performing arts, and music, while examining the organizations that provide diasporic communities with political voice and social support. It explores how digital spaces—such as social media, streaming platforms, and online archives—shape cultural memory, particularly among younger generations. Additionally, it traces the journeys of cultural forms as they travel and adapt abroad, from the fusion music of the Indo-Caribbean diaspora to the simplified performances of rituals like Theyyam from Kerala.What emerges is a nuanced portrait of diasporic life as a continuous negotiation between preservation and change, between belonging here and belonging there. The book reveals how gender influences who speaks for the community, how culture serves as both a resource for connection and a site of conflict, and how identity remains fluid and unsettled.Written for students and scholars in migration studies, sociology, anthropology, gender studies, religious studies, and cultural studies, this volume offers a grounded and critical exploration of how globalization is lived, rather than merely theorized.

Diaspora is not a category to contain people but a subjectivity forged in power. Attentive to gender, voice, and the silences within the community, this important book compellingly explores how Indian transnational belonging is contested, negotiated, and orchestrated.Professor Dibyesh Anand, University of Westminster, UKThis is a well-written collection of essays that offers fascinating empirical studies and theoretical discussions of Indian transnationalism in the twenty-first century and of belonging and identity in the global Indian diasporas.Professor Knut A. Jacobsen, University of Bergen, NorwayIndian transnationalism is an important intervention in identity and belonging. The authors not only construct an identity but, by keeping the Indian diaspora at the center, explore a discourse of dual history, in which the idea of the homeland and the experience of the homeland are, respectively, two separate worlds.Professor Ashutosh Kumar, Banaras Hindu University, IndiaIndian identity is continually evolving, both in India and in its global diaspora. Indian Transnationalism traces these transformations through digital worlds, gendered struggles, diasporic organizations, sacred performances, and Indo-Caribbean soundscapes. Richly interdisciplinary, this book is a valuable resource for scholars and university students alike.Professor Stephen Christopher, King’s College London, UK
