Cartographies of diaspora contesting identities

Culture, politics, subjectivity and identity are highly contested in contemporary debates. Cartographies of Diaspora throws light on these debates by exploring the intersections of 'race', gender, class, sexuality, ethnicity, generation and nationalism in different discourses, practices and political contexts. Cartographies of Diaspora provides an innovative theoretical framework for the study of 'difference', 'diversity' and 'commonality' which links them to the analyses of 'diaspora', 'border' and 'location'. In relating these questions to contemporary migrations of people, capital and cultures, it offers fresh insights into thinking about late twentieth-century social and cultural formations. It will be essential reading to students of sociology, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, 'race' and ethnic studies, women's studies and anthropology, and will also appeal to teachers, youth and community workers and social workers.

  • "Cartographies of Diaspora introduces new ways of thinking about 'difference', informed by feminism and post-structuralism, and addresses questions of culture, identity and politics. It examines these themes by exploring the intersections of race', gender, class, sexuality, ethnicity, generation and nationalism in different discourses, practices and political contexts. The first three chapters map the emergence of Asian' as a racialized category in post-war British popular and political discourse and state practices. It documents Asian cultural and political responses paying particular attention to the role of gender and generation. The remaining six chapters analyzes the debate on difference', diversity', and diaspora' across different sites, but mainly within feminism, anti-racism, and post-structuralism. Cartographies of Diaspora offers an innovative approach to the study of difference' and commonality', exploring and deconstructing questions of identity, culture, and politics. By making theoretical and political links across these debates, it breaks new ground by offering a new conceptual framework to address these issues and concerns.; It interrogates and deconstructs the so-called 'mainstream' and offers new insights into integrating issues of gender, race', ethnicity, class and sexuality."
