Despite burgeoning interest in the region, little attention is given to the thousands of migrants leaving the region for Indian cities for refuge, work, and study. The stories of Northeast migrants reveal an everyday Northeast India rarely captured elsewhere and offer an alternative view of contemporary India. Northeast migrants covet the employment opportunities created by India's embrace of globalization; shopping malls, restaurants, and call centres. Yet Northeast migrants also experience high levels of racism, harassment, and violence. Far from simply victims of the city, Northeast migrants have created their own 'map' of Delhi, enabling a sense of belonging, albeit an uneasy one. Interdisciplinary in nature, this book will appeal to scholars of anthropology, urban studies, geography, migration, and Asian Studies.\u003cb\u003eMost accessible and captivating work for the non-specialist reader Accolade by the ICAS 8 Reading Committee.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Duncan McDuie-Ra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9089644229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789089644220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Duncan McDuie-Ra","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659554763007,"sku":"9789089644220","price":83.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f390b865-66f0-4dca-8595-778ae6ac8967.jpg?v=1781201950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/northeast-migrants-in-delhi-duncan-mcduie-ra-9789089644220","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
