This book brings a deep engagement with individuals whose lives are shaped by encounters with borders by telling the stories of a poor Bangladeshi women who regularly crosses the India border to visit family, of Muslims from India living in Gulf countries for work, and the harrowing journey of a young Afghan man as he sets off on foot to Germany. The international and interdisciplinary work in this book contributes to this moment by analyzing how borders are experienced by migrants and borderlanders in South Asia, how mobility and diaspora are engaged in literature and media, and how the lives of migrants are transformed during their journey to new homes in South Asia, the Middle East, North America, and Europe. 410 0$aAsian borderlands ;$v7. 606 $aSouth Asian diaspora 606 $aBorderlands$zSouth Asia 606 $aSouth Asians$zForeign countries 607 $aSouth Asia$xBoundaries 607 $aSouth Asia$xEmigration and immigration 610 $aBorders, Mobility, South Asia, Diaspora, Migration. 615 0$aSouth Asian diaspora. 615 0$aBorderlands 615 0$aSouth Asians 676 $a305.8914 702 $aJones$b Reece 702 $aFerdoush$b Md.
