{"product_id":"south-asian-diaspora-narratives-amit-sarwal-9789811036286","title":"South Asian Diaspora Narratives: Roots and Routes","description":"This book analyses the metaphysical and poetical notions and the processes of 'rooting into a culture' and 'routing out of a culture' in the context of South Asian diaspora in Australia. These diasporic narratives are often characterised by bifurcated and dislocated identities that exist in a liminal space, in-between two identities, two cultures, and two histories. Yet, 'home' remains, through acts of imagination, remembering and re-creation, an important reference point. The author argues that a clearer notion of politics of location is required to distinguish between the different kinds of 'dislocation' the immigrants suffer, both psychologically and sociologically. The diaspora is Australia is an under-studied topic, and this book fills a lacuna in South Asian diaspora studies by analysing and calling upon a wide range of works in this field from historical, anthropological, sociological, cultural, and literary studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amit Sarwal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9811036284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789811036286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Amit Sarwal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47930983874815,"sku":"9789811036286","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0da6b33-86d1-456e-99fe-01db40f444af.jpg?v=1766345644","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/south-asian-diaspora-narratives-amit-sarwal-9789811036286","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
