"Dissecting the economic, cultural, political, gendered and historical aspects of cross-border engagements with respect to India, this volume succeeds in starting a conversation with related approaches such as colonialism and intersectionality and provides a firm grounding for analysing the Indian case in a global perspective." Thomas Faist, Professor of Sociology, Bielefeld University, Germany
"This timely volume offers a path-breaking collection of essays on transnationalism with special reference to India and the Indian diaspora. Supported by detailed historical research, both traditional and web-based, each essay interrogates global disjunctures, unequal power structures, gender hierarchies and social and ethnic collisions that underlie the politics of migration, borders, homeland narratives, cosmopolitanism and the changing definitions of the nation state." Vijay Mishra, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Murdoch University, Australia
"This is an excellent collection of essays that includes the entire gamut of themes relating to the Indian transnationalism from migrant workers (labourers and skilled professionals), implications for culture and identity, political and gender dynamics, and global networks which would appeal to scholars and students of sociology, anthropology, history, geography and diaspora studies." Brij Maharaj, Professor of Geography, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
