| description | Northeast Migrants in Delhi: Race, Refuge and Retail is an ethnographic study of migrants from India's north-east border region living and working in Delhi, the nation's capital. Northeast India borders China, the Himalayas, and Southeast Asia. Despite burgeoning interest in the region, little attention is given to the thousands of migrants leaving the region for Indian cities for refuge, work, and study. The stories of Northeast migrants reveal an everyday Northeast India rarely captured elsewhere and offer an alternative view of contemporary India. Northeast migrants covet the employment opportunities created by India's embrace of globalization; shopping malls, restaurants, and call centres. Yet Northeast migrants also experience high levels of racism, harassment, and violence. Far from simply victims of the city, Northeast migrants have created their own 'map' of Delhi, enabling a sense of belonging, albeit an uneasy one. Interdisciplinary in nature, this book will appeal to scholars of anthropology, urban studies, geography, migration, and Asian Studies. |

Dit baanbrekende boek is een etnografische studie naar de migranten die in steeds grotere getale van het noordoosten van India naar de hoofdstad Delhi trekken. De sociale, politieke en economische activiteiten van deze etnische minderheden bieden een heel andere kijk op het hedendaagse India. Door de opkomst van het neoliberale globalisme in India vinden deze migranten in Delhi volop werk in restaurants en supermarkten, maar worden zij daar ook geconfronteerd met racisme en geweld. Tegelijkertijd zoeken ze in hun nieuwe omgeving naar een eigen identiteit. 2021-02-10T12:58:18Z 2012-12-31 23:55:55 2019-12-10 14:46:32 2020-04-01T15:18:04Z 2012 book 424531 OCN: 820850478 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34485 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/31512 eng open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34485/1/424531.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34485/1/424531.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34485/1/424531.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/34485/1/424531.pdf Amsterdam University Press 10.26530/OAPEN_424531 10.26530/OAPEN_424531 de2ecbe7-1037-4e96-8c3a-5a842d921e04 225 open access |
