Conclusion: Thoda Indian, Thoda Aussie.This book analyses the metaphysical and poetical notions and the processes of ‘rooting into a culture’ and ‘routing out of a culture’ in the context of South Asian diaspora in Australia. These diasporic narratives are often characterised by bifurcated and dislocated identities that exist in a liminal space, in-between two identities, two cultures, and two histories. Yet, ‘home’ remains, through acts of imagination, remembering and re-creation, an important reference point. The author argues that a clearer notion of politics of location is required to distinguish between the different kinds of ‘dislocation’ the immigrants suffer, both psychologically and sociologically. The diaspora is Australia is an under-studied topic, and this book fills a lacuna in South Asian diaspora studies by analysing and calling upon a wide range of works in this field from historical, anthropological, sociological, cultural, and literary studies. .Ethnology—AsiaEmigration and immigrationHistoriographyAsian Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411040Migrationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000Memory Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/711010Ethnology—Asia.Emigration and immigration.Historiography.Asian Culture.Migration.Memory Studies.306.095Sarwal Amitauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut982600BOOK9910255072303321South Asian Diaspora Narratives2242482UNINA
