Those who have left their places of birth to make homes elsewhere are familiar with the question, \"Where do you come from?\" and respond in innumerable well-rehearsed ways. Diasporas construct racialized, sexualized, gendered, and oppositional subjectivities and shape the cosmopolitan intellectual commitment of scholars. The diasporic individual often has a double consciousness, a privileged knowledge and perspective that is consonant with postmodernity and globalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays in this volume reflect on the movements of people and cultures in the present day, when physical, social, and mental borders and boundaries are being challenged and sometimes successfully dismantled. The contributors - from a variety of disciplinary perspectives - discuss the diasporic experiences of ethnic and racial groups living in Canada from their perspective, including the experiences of South Asians, Iranians, West Indians, Chinese, and Eritreans. \u003ci\u003eDiaspora, Memory, and Identity\u003c\/i\u003e is an exciting and innovative collection of essays that examines the nuanced development of theories of Diaspora, subjectivity, double-consciousness, gender and class experiences, and the nature of home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vijay Agnew\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802093744\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802093745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.66w x 0.80d","brand":"Vijay Agnew","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46372314710271,"sku":"9780802093745","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad9ec917-f7bf-41ab-b872-507a3df4b42d.jpg?v=1732725608","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diaspora-memory-and-identity-vijay-agnew-9780802093745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
