"Where Are You Originally From?" Multiculturalism, Citizenship, and Transnational Differences --Glossary --Notes --Bibliography --IndexDhooleka S. Raj explores the complexities of ethnic minority cultural change in this incisive examination of first- and second-generation middle-class South Asian families living in London. Challenging prevalent understandings of ethnicity that equate community, culture, and identity, Raj considers how transnational ethnic minorities are circumscribed by nostalgia for culture. Where Are You From? argues that the nostalgia for culture obscures the complexities of change in migrant minority lives and limits the ways the politics of diversity can be imagined by the nation. Based on ethnographic research with Indian migrants and their children, this book examines how categories of identity, culture, community, and nation are negotiated and often equated.HindusEnglandLondonImmigrantsEnglandLondonMiddle classEnglandLondonPanjabis (South Asian people)EnglandLondonSouth AsiansEnglandLondonLondon (England)Ethnic relationsSouth AsiaEmigration and immigrationHindusImmigrantsMiddle classPanjabis (South Asian people)South Asians305.6/9450421HD 400rvkRaj Dhooleka Sarhadi1969-1808416MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967945103321Where are you from4358642UNINA
