| description | The item uploaded is the introduction to our edited collection.
This edited volume looks at the ways in which films, literature, photography and social media construct images of homelands and diasporas as well as the ways in which they facilitate exchanges between them. The volume presents with a dialogue between these representations and analyses how they are constructed, disseminated, appropriated and/or challenged in relation to recent political developments in South Asia and in the diaspora.
Focusing on images and narratives about South Asia and its diaspora, the book aims to re-centre the political nature of representations, as it addresses the interplay between representation, imagination and identity, with a specific focus on the South Asian diasporic experience.
This book will interest students and scholars of media, communication, popular culture, cultural studies, Asian studies, politics and sociology.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of South Asian Diaspora. |
