It is estimated that about half of the total Nepalese labor migration currently funnels into Gulf Cooperation Council countries (the GCC). In this article, we explore the dynamics of these migrations based on in-depth interviews with Nepalese migrants at different stages of their migration trajectories. We find that migrations within the GCC are not a one-time phenomenon. Multiple migrations that involve crisscrossing the Arab Gulf are an important part of Nepalese migrants’ experiences. We distinguish between circular, serial and stepwise Nepalese migrations and argue that they are shaped by migrant strategies and the various local, regional and international structures that enable and constrain their migratory aspirations, temporary returns to Nepal and remigrations to the GCC and onwards.","PeriodicalId":42548,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Diaspora","volume":"53 1","pages":"21 - 37"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72932603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Indian American versus South Asian American advocacy organisations: diasporic political activism in the U.S.","authors":"Prema A.

A prominent division among secular activists of Indian American background is that some individuals prefer to mobilise as ‘Indian Americans’ while others are active as ‘South Asian Americans.’ There are fundamental differences in the strategies, goals, and broader alliance patterns of these two types of advocacy organisations. This article argues that this is because each type of organisation is responding to specific frameworks and incentives for mobilisation within the U.S. landscape with immigrant leaders rallying around Indian American organisations focused on foreign policy, while second generation activists mobilise around South Asian American organisations focused on domestic policy, particularly racism and civil rights. It makes an important contribution by showing how generational difference can shape the goals and strategies of advocacy organisations.","PeriodicalId":42548,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Diaspora","volume":"10 1","pages":"1 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85654613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study finds that irregular migration is largely a forced migration rather than a wilful one. Migration policies of destination countries largely enforce irregular migration by restricting less-educated and semi-skilled Punjabis to migrate through regular mode. The prospective migrants after being rejected under the regular migration system adopt irregular migration. Thus, irregular migration compliments regular migration, rather than substituting it. Although irregular migration is found to be economically unviable in the initial years but offers net economic gains as it gets older. Liberalisation of the migration policies in destination countries, improvement in the quality of school education and its infrastructure and strictly monitoring business of travel agents in Indian Punjab can check the menace of irregular migration effectively.","PeriodicalId":42548,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Diaspora","volume":"37 1","pages":"73 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85055901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Romania is discussed again in violence and media and its representation as shown in Italy and immigrant country Romania. A cultural religious identity of Indians in Romania is the focus of another chapter leading to a strong community identity in Europe. There are few essays on films and the representation of diaspora in media, including perception of South Asian Muslims post 9/11 period by Indian directors and the construction of diasporic subjectivities through films. Deepa Mehta and her perception of Gandhi’s concept of Truth are seen in one of the essays in the context of Derridas’s notion of Lie of the State and State of the Lie. A chapter on the short-term visiting parents in Indo-Canadian diaspora is a notable new arena of research with sociological perspective. It analyses intricately how the bond in diaspora actually crosses the family to the nations. Essay on issues on surrogacy and transnational mother– child relation gives a refreshing thought to the readers in understanding motherhood. The recovery of ‘another voice’ is reflected in the essay on queer diaspora, which focuses on the deprived reality space of the ‘third gender’ and forces them towards the virtual and cyberspace. The Sikh Diaspora, Nigerian diaspora, South Asian Diaspora, Britain’s referendum of 2016 on European Union membership and its impact on immigration forms a part of this section of the book. These chapters widen the area of reading in diaspora. A feminist outlook is presented by the essay on hollowness and homelessness of Taslima Nasreen’s journey to ‘other’ nation protesting against patriarchy. The book is summed up again with essays in search of identity and problems of distinct crises through the novels of Chitra Banerjee and Bharati Mukherjee. Overall, it is a very well-conceived, documented and scholarly work of research on diaspora. The book does not conventionally focus on the economic and social aspects of diaspora but looks into the problems and dimensions of trans-nationality and hybridity. It fills the void of a long-needed reference book covering an extended well-connected history of emigration and problems and issues of communities involved in it. Readers would benefit from the addition of a noteworthy foreword and an analytical introduction by Nilufer E. Bharucha, one of the editors. However, some chapters in the third section have repetition in thoughts, and relevance in certain areas would make the book more focused.","PeriodicalId":42548,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Diaspora","volume":"97 1","pages":"99 - 101"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87606310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
