| 內容簡介: |
By the end of the twentieth century some nine million people
of South Asian descent had left India, Bangladesh or Pakistan and
settled in different parts of the world, forming a diverse and
significant modern diaspora. In the early nineteenth century, many
left reluctantly to seek economic opportunities which were lacking
at home. This is the story of their often painful experiences in
the diaspora, how they constructed new social communities overseas
and how they maintained connections with the countries and the
families they had left behind. It is a story compellingly told by
one of the premier historians of modern South Asia, Judith Brown,
whose particular knowledge of the diaspora in Britain and South
Africa gives her insight as a commentator. This is a book which
will have a broad appeal to general readers as well as to students
of South Asian and colonial history, migration studies and
sociology.
