It is also an important contribution to diaspora theory in general. Examining both the old Indian diaspora of early capitalism, following the abolition of slavery, and the new diaspora linked to movements of late capital, Mishra argues that a full understanding of the Indian diaspora can only be achieved if attention is paid to the particular locations of both the old and the new in nation states.</p><p>Applying a theoretical framework based on trauma, mourning/impossible mourning, spectres, identity, travel, translation, and recognition, Mishra uses the term imaginary to refer to any ethnic enclave in a nation-state that defines itself, consciously or unconsciously, as a group in displacement. He examines the works of key writers, many now based across the globe in Canada, Australia, America and the UK, V.S. Naipaul, Salman Rushdie, M.G. Vassanji, Shani Mootoo, Bharati Mukherjee, David Dabydeen, Rohinton Mistry and Hanif Kureishi, among them to show how they exemplify both the diasporic imaginary and the respective traumas of the old and new Indian diasporas.</p>...3020954The Literature of the Indian Diaspora13351335https://www.gandhi.com.mx/the-literature-of-the-indian-diaspora-9781134096916/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3845504/f5babbe7-c95a-4fef-b6ee-2a834c9ab06d.jpg?v=638385963158930000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20079781134096916_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9781134096916_<p><em>The Literature of the Indian Diaspora</em> constitutes a major study of the literature and other cultural texts of the Indian diaspora.
