In the early nineteenth century, many left reluctantly to seek economic opportunities which were lacking at home. This is the story of their often painful experiences in the diaspora, how they constructed new social communities overseas and how they maintained connections with the countries and the families they had left behind. It is a story compellingly told by one of the premier historians of modern South Asia, Judith Brown, whose particular knowledge of the diaspora in Britain and South Africa gives her insight as a commentator. This is a book which will have a broad appeal to general readers as well as to students of South Asian and colonial history, migration studies and sociology. 410 0$aNew approaches to Asian history ;$v1. 606 $aSouth Asian diaspora 607 $aSouth Asians$xMigrations 615 0$aSouth Asian diaspora. 676 $a909.04914 700 $aBrown$b Judith M$g(Judith Margaret),$f1944-$0125427 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784307103321 996 $aGlobal South Asians$93746920 997 $aUNINA
