Publisher: Oxfordshire; New York Routledge 2018Description: xiv, 203 p.ISBN: 9780367207953.Subject(s): Pakistani diaspora. -- Diasporic communities -- Minority Groups -- Pakistan | Race -- Ethnicity -- MigrationDDC classification: 909.04914122 Summary: This book focuses on the experiences of young first- and second-generation Pakistani Muslims and non-Muslims in the Pakistani diaspora living in Boston and Dublin. The book examines how these individuals resist hegemonic identity narratives and respond to their marginalized conditions. One of the main concepts introduced in the book is "Pakphobia," which is the dividing line that separates safe places from unsafe ones and creates a distinction between "us" and "them" in the Pakistani diaspora. The book explores the language of fear and how it gives rise to a "politics of fear" aimed at dividing and distracting communities. This book provides a cross-national study of one of the largest minority groups in the US and Western Europe. It will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists, political scientists, and geographers with an interest in race and ethnicity, migration, and diasporic communities. The book draws on rich documentary, ethnographic, and interview material to provide a nuanced understanding of the experiences of young Pakistanis living in the diaspora.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
