What might such a nostalgia look like, and what political importance might it have?Homemaking: Radical Nostalgia and the Construction of a South Asian Diaspora examines diasporic life in south Asian communities in Europe, North America and Australia, to map the ways in which members of these communities use nostalgia to construct distinctive identities. Using a series of examples from literature, cinema, visual art, music, computer games, mainstream media, physical and virtual spaces and many other cultural objects, this book argues that it is possible, and necessary, to read this nostalgia as helping to create a powerful notion of home that can help to transcend international relations of empire and capital, and create instead a pan-national space of belonging.This homemaking represents the persistent search for somewhere to belong on one’s own terms. Constructed through word, image and music, preserved through dreams and imagination, the home provides sustenance in the continuing struggle to change the present and the future for the better.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 220mmItem Length: 153mmItem Width: 16mmItem Weight: 327gAuthor: Anindya RaychaudhuriGenre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Critical Perspectives on Theory, Culture and PoliticsTopic: Society & Culture, Philosophy & Spirituality, Law & Politics, History, Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
