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.

Kamaraj. It illustrates their synthesis of anti-caste ideology, socioeconomic and educational m...
Why are abnormal figures at the heart of literary canon and what do they tell us about the society that writes and circulates these stories? This book studies the constitution of disability and discusses concepts of corporeal difference that are socio-historically rooted in the Indian cultural milieu. The volume aims at looking at the central issue of the various aspects of disability representation, the impact of these representations on the materially embodied experience of disablement, the political imperatives shaping the narratives of corporeal difference, and the influences of highly particularised local cultural context on the constitution of epistemic and discursive notions of corpor...
