Conclusions: Too Diverse to Diaspora? 330 $aDrawing on in-depth qualitative research, this book provides a nuanced picture of the everyday identifications experienced and expressed among the superdiverse Tamil migrant population in Britain. It presents the first detailed analysis of the narrative and experiences of Tamils from a diversity of backgrounds ? including Sri Lankan, Indian, Singaporean and Malaysian ? and addresses the question of their identification with a ?Tamil diaspora? in Britain. Theoretically informed by Brubaker?s conception of ?diaspora as process? and Werbner?s notion of diasporas as both ?aesthetic? and ?moral? communities, Jones examines political engagements alongside other, less studied, ?frames? of Tamil migrants? lives: social relationships (local and transnational), the domestic space of home, and performances of faith and ritual. Considering diaspora as a process or practice allows the author to reveal a complex landscape upon which ?being Tamil? and ?doing Tamil-ness? in diaspora are diversely enacted. Combining original ethnographic research with a theoretical engagement in the key debates in migration, diaspora, ethnicity and superdiversity studies, this book makes a novel contribution to scholarship on Tamil populations and will advance critical understandings of the concept of ?diaspora? more generally. . 410 0$aGlobal Diversities,$x2662-2580 606 $aEmigration and immigration 606 $aEthnography 606 $aDiaspora$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X37000 606 $aMigration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X24000 606 $aEthnography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12060 615 0$aEmigration and immigration. 615 0$aEthnography. 615 14$aDiaspora. 615 24$aMigration. 615 24$aEthnography. 676 $a954.93 676 $a941.00494811 700 $aJones$b Demelza$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0882880 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370060403321 996 $aSuperdiverse Diaspora$91972321 997 $aUNINA
