{"title":"Kala Pani crossings: revisiting 19th century migration from India’s perspective","authors":"M. Pandurang","doi":"10.1080/19438192.2022.2136125","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/19438192.2022.2136125","url":null,"abstract":"have helped us understand how PIOs in the West constitute one of the thriving communities. The third section focuses on the global dimensions of political integration. The first chapter focuses on the ideological hybridity between what the author calls ‘Diasporic Hindutva’ and radical right in the USA and UK. The next chapter focuses on sending state strategies to mobilise its diaspora. It studies the Overseas Citizenship of Indiaa quasi-citizenship offered by the Government of India (GOI) to PIOs to inculcate a sense of indebtedness and, in the process, shape the contours of belonging. The last chapter in this section focuses on differences within the Indo-Caribbean ethnic group and its impact on political integration. The chapter compares Trinidad, Guyana, and Suriname to argue that the degree of ethnic loyalty and level of integration varies significantly among them and attributes the same to political history, colonial background, and even natural resources/geographical factors. The analysis of the support for ‘right’ policies among ‘Diasporic Hindutva’ would have benefitted by examining whether supporting ‘right’ could be seen as a way to navigate inclusion/ integration in the host society marked by racial hierarchy. A comparison with the Jewish diaspora, also regarded as successful, could have further enriched the chapter. The second chapter’s analysis regarding India’s overseas citizenship could have benefitted by elaborating on how through these strategies, the scalar hierarchy of state power that gets reflected beyond the territorial boundary defines belonging for its diasporic population. The last chapter, like the previous chapters, restricts it to the respective national social field. An interrogation of whether the intensity of exchange/contact with their homeland influences group solidarity and their respective integration strategies cum level of integration would have been insightful. Next, the proliferation of PIOs globally marks an expansion in India’s Kin-Statesa theme that this volume doesn’t discuss much. However, as the recent turn of events from Canada to the UK shows, mobilising for homeland issues in the host countries by PIOs could have implications for Indian foreign policy, thereby complicating the bilateral relationship. To conclude, the book’s focus on the groupist integration of PIOs challenges the dominant individual-centric assimilationist paradigm prevalent in western society that equates society and the state. The book has successfully managed to question the melting pot paradigm that requires absolute assimilation to the host state society and views ethnicity and transnational ties as impediments to successful integration. Therefore, this book offers an interesting read to anyone interested in navigating the complexities of the political integration of immigrant communities in their host society.","PeriodicalId":42548,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Diaspora","volume":"6 1","pages":"272 - 275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82254715","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}

Importantly, higher proportion of sampled farm households had received overseas remittances on regular basis. Per-household and per capita amount of remittances realized was substantial. All size class of land holders had received remittances with no unique relationship to size of holding. The remittances, in overall, had contributed substantially to income of households. The pattern of utilization of remittances showed their diverse uses. The level of remittances depends upon 'years of stay of first emigrant in destination country', 'education of first emigrant from family', and 'number of persons abroad from family'. However, remittances had practically bypassed agriculture sector as large number of sampled households has completely leased out their agricultural land and very small proportion of received remittances was used for purchase of agricultural land and machinery.","PeriodicalId":42548,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Diaspora","volume":"129 1","pages":"31 - 44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72888068","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}

Once again, it would have been good to have seen more direct engagement with the idea of the ‘in-between’, possibly linking this to the related and now widely used concept of liminality. Considering the contributions in the book as a whole it is clear that there is great breadth both in terms of countries covered and in terms of the types of middle-class migrants profiled. Certainly, the notion of ‘a middle-class’ is problematic, and the book goes a long way in recognising this: emphasising a need for nuance and plurality when discussing the spectrum of middling migrants. In this sense, it takes us well beyond the early literature (from the mid2000s) on middle-class migration. Related to this, whilst the book is squarely focused on class, other facets of identity are brought to the fore such as race, gender and age. This diversity and nuance is a real strength and underlines the importance of edited collections like this in building up sophisticated and multi-dimensional empirical and conceptual insight. Ultimately, one is left in no doubt of the need for a class-based lens when considering middling migrants’ experiences and trajectories, but one is also left in no doubt that a class-based lens on its own is insufficient. Throughout, the book draws upon very rich empirical material, with all contributors opting for in-depth qualitative methods and often drawing on impressive sample sizes. Going forward, there is certainly room for complementary quantitative research into middle-class migration, more policy engagement, and further development of the notions of ‘privilege’ and ‘in-between’ status (ideally with reference to related established concepts in the extant literature). The potential for future middling migration research, and the platform established by this edited collection, is something that could have been reflected upon in a concluding section and the book does end a little abruptly. Overall, and despite minor gripes, Rethinking Privilege and Social Mobility in Middle-Class Migration will undoubtedly anchor and inspire future studies of middle-class mobility which, given the predicted growth of the middle-classes, is likely to become an ever more important strand of international migration research. The collection (all 11 chapters are of high quality) is one that I would certainly recommend to readers of the South Asian Diaspora and to students and researchers from across the social sciences more generally.","PeriodicalId":42548,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Diaspora","volume":"5 1","pages":"114 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87984383","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}
