Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book celebrates both the past and present existence of the Indian diasporic grandparents who live their daily lives in different countries – the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, South Africa, Fiji, Mauritius, Australia, Suriname and Malaysia – and in different economic, social, cultural, religious contexts and specific household and family situations. The achievements of the few rich and the famous Indians living in diaspora have been given the celebratory treatment; similar status is not often given to the achievements of the diasporic Indian grandparents. However, “the vanquished and the victors, the subalterns and the sahibs, have equal claims on our attention ... clearly there are areas where Indian communities have been settled for long periods of time ... without having a significant effect on the countries of their residence ... [but] they, too are integral parts of the diaspora” (Brij Lal, Peter Reeves & Rajesh Rai, 2006, p. 15). This book is about voices of contemporary Indian grandparents and their grand parenting practices. The diasporic Indian grandparents are engaged in keeping diverse “Indian families” and “communities” as strong as possible in the current era of globalization process and social policy initiatives that are dominated by the ideology of neo-liberalism. This book claims that the diasporic Indian grandparents have significant effects on the countries of their residence and too are integral parts of the Indian diaspora who deserve the celebratory treatment and status. The book can be used for courses in the areas of critical social work, family studies, gerontology, nursing, rural development, critical pedagogy, and diaspora studies. “A veritable archive of stories, anecdotes, memories and reminiscences, of love, longing and search for a legacy, by diasporic Indian grandparents across the globe as they transgress boundaries in a socially porous world, negotiate generational differences complicated by the realities of modern living, cross cultures and seek to preserve connections between the past, the present and the future. A necessary contribution to the growing literature in the life of the Indian diaspora.” Brij V. Lal Professor of Pacific and Asian History, The Australian National University & General Editor, Encyclopedia of the Indian Diaspora

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a critical study of diasporic literature of Indian writers! Diaspora Literature helps people to understand the background history of their native land. Each society has a different cultural and historical background and it depends on the dominant society. Diaspora is not a new genre; it has its root in history and religion. Diasporic literature is a broad concept. It consists of all literary works written by the authors, who have settled outside their native country and have written on the culture and tradition of their homeland. We have different aspects regarding diasporic sensibility in literary works. Migration is one of the most important aspects of it. It denotes movement of living beings and human migration of people to different space. Diaspora literature also seeks the idea of cultural hybridity and multiculturalism. It perceives ethnic qualities inside a particular geographical habitation. It draws others to be benefited by the commitments to society made by individuals from various ethnic foundations. This book is intended for university level students and teachers, researchers and other informed readers with an interest in the above subject, and serves as both a survey of the field and an intervention within it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diasporic populations offer unique opportunities for the study of language variation and change. This volume is the first collection of sociolinguistic studies of English use across the historically complex and widely dispersed Indian diaspora. The contributions describe particular sociohistorical contexts (the UK, Fiji, South Africa, Singapore, and the Caribbean) and then use this rich empirical base to examine diverse questions in theory and method, such as the extent to which different settings see different or similar linguistic outcomes; the role of community structures, transnational ties, attitudes, and identity; reasons for differing rates of change, adaptation, and focussing; and the relevance of endonormative stabilization of Asian Englishes. These themes do not simply further our understandings of diaspora. They can ultimately feed into wider theoretical questions in language contact studies, including universals, selection and adaptation of traits, and interactions between social contact, identity, and language change.

Book excerpt: Fitting in with the emphasis of the series on studying movements of people that have been little researched and written about in the past, this volume focuses on the Indian labor diaspora. The author draws on 19th-century material from Mauritius, the Caribbean, Fiji, Natal, and Reunion, much of it letters of indentured or time-expired laborers and their families, and much of it previously unpublished. Coverage includes the experiences of recruitment and the voyage overseas, the working lives of indentured Indians, personal lives of Indian migrants, and new horizons--the world beyond indenture.
