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. 606 $aHindus$zEngland$zLondon 606 $aImmigrants$zEngland$zLondon 606 $aMiddle class$zEngland$zLondon 606 $aPanjabis (South Asian people)$zEngland$zLondon 606 $aSouth Asians$zEngland$zLondon 607 $aLondon (England)$xEthnic relations 607 $aSouth Asia$xEmigration and immigration 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHindus 615 0$aImmigrants 615 0$aMiddle class 615 0$aPanjabis (South Asian people) 615 0$aSouth Asians 676 $a305.6/9450421 700 $aRaj$b Dhooleka Sarhadi$f1969-$01033978 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450141003321 996 $aWhere are you from$92452831 997 $aUNINA
