Synopsis The perennially engaging theme of diaspora has acquired an increasing, even an alarming, resonance in the contemporary world. This collection of writings from Australia, New Zealand, India and Singapore straddles disciplines ranging from Literature, Media, and the Social Sciences to Computing and Library Studies. It is aerated also with insightful contributions from creative artists. The varied issues are probed with unusual depth and perspicacity, partly because while some of the contributors are recognized experts in their disciplines, others are exciting new talents testing their strengths in the field of international scholarship. The medley of voices combine to illuminate a topic which must surely be one of the most challenging in current intellectual debates the world over.
