"Africa in India, India in Africa." Among the topics to be addressed in this book collection of essays will be the following: The Siddhis of Gujarat, and contemporary interaction between African nations and south Asia; The two waves of Indians to Africa; subsequent migration from and within Africa in the 20th century; West Indian migration to Britain and interaction with African immigrants in Britain; West Indian migration to the US, and interaction with African Americans; Self-representations and objectification by others in film, fiction, drama, etc.; Political and economic interaction among local and immigrant communities. On a broader theoretical plane, this collection of essays seeks 1) to address postcolonial issues while avoiding the Eurocentric framework that that term sometimes depends upon, 2) to consider the ramifications of centuries of "globalizing" forces without depending upon what some global theorists seem to see as originary, i.e., the American imperial hegemony after the collapse of the Soviet Union, 3) to display and analyze the varieties of diaspora that may heretofore have been shortchanged in favor of U.S. immigration patterns. Abstract by 15 May to the address below. Full paper (5000-7000 words, MLA format) by end of August.
