    Nilufer E Bharucha, Nilufer Bharucha et al.ARTICLEMatatu2021

  • Introduction

    Delphine Munos, Mala PandurangARTICLESouth Asian Diaspora2018

    In today’s western multicultural societies, Eurocentric notions of ‘black’ and ‘white’ have polarised the debate about racial relations and effaced the complexities of interaction between South Asian migrant communities and people of other ethnic and racial backgrounds. This special issue is geared toward exploring how the complexity of contemporary race relations between the South Asian and the African communities, as well as its legacy in Afric…

    Parita Mukta’s Shards of Memory: Woven Lives in Four Generations (2002) charts the “interior story” of a Hindu Gujarati-speaking Kenyan-Asian family, over a span of four generations. This paper specifically examines Mukta’s text as a critique of the cultural history of widowhood in the East African Asian diaspora.

    Mala PandurangARTICLESouth Asian Diaspora2009

    This paper offers a socio‐literary investigation of the East African Asian diasporic experience. To this end, it closely examines selected texts that offer insights into the complicated socio‐cultural relationships at the interstices of the colonial histories of the Indian subcontinent, Africa and Europe. It also looks at how gendered participation is articulated from within the larger body of a collective history. Finally, the paper reviews step…
