The South Asian Diaspora: Transnational networks and changing identities: Routledge Contemporary South Asia Series
Editat de Rajesh Rai, Peter Reevesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 aug 2010
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.

Recenzii
"The diversity of the South Asian diaspora allows for it to be studied from many different perspectives and this volume reflects a variety of interests." - William Crawley, Asian Affairs, 2010
"This wide-ranging volume on the South Asian diaspora makes an important contribution to the historical sociology of transnational migration...This collection takes us beyond the commonplace in its detailed and contextualized analysis of transnational networks...The collection also stands out for its emphasis on Southeast Asia and the Caribbean, which have been neglected amid the larger body of literature on the South Asian diaspora in Europe and North America." - Kaveri Harriss, Pacific Affairs: Volume 82, No. 4 - Winter 2009/2010
"[T]his volume edited by Rajesh Rai and Peter Reeves is a welcome addition to the study of ethnography in general and the diaspora in particular. Scholarly works of this nature will be immensely invaluable in the coming years as the transnational movement of people contributes to change in both the host lands and the countries of origin." - Mohammed Badrul Alam, Jamia Millia Islamia University, India; Contemporary South Asia, Vol. 19, No. 1, March 2011
