South Asian Diaspora
Transnational networks and changing identities
AvRajesh Rai,Peter Reeves
Inbunden, Engelska, 2008
1 541 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The South Asian Diaspora numbers just under 30 million people worldwide, and it is recognized as the most widely dispersed diaspora. It is, moreover, one which of late has seen phenomenal growth, both due to natural increase and the result of a continued movement of professionals and labourers in the late 20th and early 21st century from the subcontinent to countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Singapore.This book uses the concept of transnational networks as a means to understand the South Asian diaspora. Taking into account diverse aspects of formation and development, the concept breaks down the artificial boundaries that have been dominating the literature between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ era of migration. Thereby the continued connectedness of most historic South Asian settlements is shown, and the fluid nature of South Asian identities is explored.Offering a unique and original insight into the South Asian diaspora, this book will be of interest to academics working in the field of South Asian Studies, Diaspora and Cultural Studies, Anthropology, Transnationalism and Globalisation.

Religion and Identity in the South Asian Diaspora
AvRajesh Rai,Chitra Sankaran
Inbunden, Engelska, 2013
1 496 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Religious identity constitutes a key element in the formation, development and sustenance of South Asian diasporic communities. Through studies of South Asian communities situated in multiple locales, this book explores the role of religious identity in the social and political organization of the diaspora. It accounts for the factors that underlie the modification of ritual practice in the process of resettlement, and considers how multicultural policies in the adopted state, trans-generational changes and the proliferation of transnational media has impacted the development of these identities in the diaspora. Also crucial is the gender dimension, in terms of how religion and caste affect women’s roles in the South Asian diaspora. What emerges then from the way separate communities in the diaspora negotiate religion are diverse patterns that are strategic and contingent. Yet, paradoxically, the dynamic and evolving relationship between religion and diaspora becomes necessary, even imperative, for sustaining a cohesive collective identity in these communities.This bookw as published as a special issue of South Asian Diaspora.

This book delivers actionable insights and solutions for challenges in underground construction and ground stability under evolving environmental and engineering demands, supporting safer, more efficient, and sustainable systems.It adopts a multidisciplinary approach, combining constitutive modeling, multiphysical coupling, and numerical simulation with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and digital twins. It covers geomaterial behavior, tunneling and excavation analysis, ground reinforcement, risk and reliability assessment, geohazard mitigation, and climate impacts on ground stability.Selected peer-reviewed contributions from GUE 2026 distinguish this work, bridging traditional geomechanics with data-driven technologies and offering updated perspectives on complex geotechnical systems. Intended for researchers and engineers in geotechnical and civil engineering, it serves as a reference and practical guide.
