| Summary, etc |
The book under discussion is an interdisciplinary work that explores the experiences of Bengali Muslim migrants during the upheavals of India's partition in 1947 and the creation of Bangladesh in 1971. Through over 200 interviews conducted in Britain, India, and Bangladesh, the book traces the migration and settlement of Bengali Muslim migrants within and from the Bengal delta region during and after this transformative period.<br/><br/>The book aims to highlight the diverse experiences of "hidden" migrant stories, including those of women, refugees, and displaced people. It examines the migration process "from below" and explores how migrants shape their own movement to make new homes in diaspora. Furthermore, the book seeks to challenge crude attitudes towards "Muslim" migrants by humanizing contemporary discourses around global migration.<br/><br/>The book also analyzes the experiences of those who stayed behind, and the ruptures in the migration process. It offers a nuanced understanding of the diverse experiences of Bengali Muslim migrants in widely different contexts and places, whether in the towns and hamlets of Bengal delta, or in the cities of Britain.<br/><br/>Overall, the book's interdisciplinary approach makes a valuable contribution to the fields of South Asian Studies, Diaspora Studies, and Society and Culture Studies. The book is an essential resource for scholars and researchers seeking to understand the experiences of migrants and diaspora communities, as well as anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the impact of migration and resettlement on society and culture. |
