Culture, politics, subjectivity and identity are highly contested in contemporary debates. This book throws light on these discussions by exploring the interrelationships of 'race', gender, class, sexuality, ethnicity, generation and nationalism in different discourses, practices and political contexts. Cartographies of Diaspora maps theoretical and political shifts in approaches to questions of 'difference' and 'diversity' by studying changes in gendered and racialised discourses and state practices over the last half-century.
