Kalra, Virinder S.UUUU
Books, Manuscripts
What do we mean by the concepts of 'diaspora' and 'hybridity'? Why have they become pivotal in contemporary debates on race, culture and society? This accessible book provides an authoritative, critical introduction to these questions. It provides an exhaustive critical assessment of the key literature on diaspora and hybridity and it relates the concepts consistently to issues of social change and the pursuit of equality. Wide ranging and richly illustrated "Dispora and Hybridity" provides the reader with frameworks to evaluate key arguments, theories and narratives. The authors show how the concepts of diaspora and hybridity cut across traditional boundaries of nations and groups, giving rise to transnational spaces for a range of cultural, political and economic activities beyond ethnicity and nationhood
