Viac o knihe

Focusing on the interplay of migration and popular culture, the book examines the identity formation of around 200 million Indians globally, tracing their cultural evolution from colonial to modern times. It specifically studies north Indian migrants from the Bhojpuri region who emigrated to Suriname for plantation work and their descendants who later moved to The Netherlands after Surinamese independence in 1975. The work delves into the cultural exchanges and interactions that shaped their experiences and identities.
