Negotiating Ethnicity

Second-Generation South Asians Traverse a Transnational World

Beschreibung

This book illustrates how ethnic identity is chosen - through the adoption of ethnic labels, the invention of ""traditions,"" the consumption of ethnic products, and participation in voluntary societies. The pan-ethnic identities that result demonstrate both a resilient attachment to heritage and a celebration of reinvention.
