Full Description
This book examines how members of the South Asian diaspora—one of the world's largest diasporic communities—forge complex, hybrid identities at the intersection of homeland traditions and host society influences. Against the backdrop of significant deterritorialization and cultural diversity, it explores the nuanced ways multiple generations navigate between preserving heritage and adapting to new environments.
Through rich, multidisciplinary perspectives, the volume investigates:
The blending of traditional practices with new cultural elements
The delicate balance between adaptation and heritage preservation
The emergence of unique cultural spaces shaped by transnational connections
Organized into two comprehensive sections—identity formation and transnational practices—this collection offers valuable insights into the lived experiences of South Asian communities worldwide and is essential reading for scholars and students in diaspora studies, migration research, transnationalism, and South Asian cultural studies.
The chapters in this book were originally published in South Asian Diaspora.
