*Gujarati Communities Across the Globe* offers an insight into the everyday
lives and evolving identities negotiated by Gujaratis in a global context:
in North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, East Africa
and South Asia. Its orientation around the themes of nationalism,
migration, new ethnicities, language and religion makes it an essential
resource for students of South Asian studies, religious studies, the
sociology of religion, social anthropology, diasporic studies, cultural and
ethnic studies. It will also interest those who wish to understand how
identities of a diasporic and post-diasporic community can be strengthened
despite moving away from one’s original roots.
The ethnographic accounts in this volume are real lives which frame these
narratives in a specific context and are part of a rich historical memory.
What defines a Gujarati? Is it language, culture, geography, tradition,
religion, all of these—or simply a tie that binds an individual to their
ancestors and the land from which they originated?
