This book explores the evolving concept of diaspora in the 21st century, moving beyond traditional understandings of scattering and alienation to introduce the idea of ‘post-diaspora’. Through this new framework, it highlights how established migrant communities, particularly the Indian diaspora, become influential, organised, and contribute significantly to both their homelands and host countries. Drawing on Indian migrants, it discusses how advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the presence of established diasporic networks create a ‘home away from home’ for new migrants, fostering re-rooting and multiple belongings rather than just dislocation. The volume also addresses the complexities of identity within these communities, including the experiences of minority groups and the shift from a desire to ‘return’ to an emphasis on ‘engagement’ with the homeland. With contributions from major scholars in the field, the volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of migration and diaspora studies, development studies and South Asian studies.
