Historical and Contemporary Aspects of Indian Indenture and Migration

This book offers fresh perspectives in the study of indentured labour, migration, and the Indian diaspora, making a valuable contribution to the field.
This book is the seventh instalment in the Legacy of Slavery and Indentured Labour series, exploring three key aspects of migration and diaspora. It studies the global Indian diaspora, their socio-economic conditions, the experiences of twice migrants including their complex identities and cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible. The book covers a wide geographical scope, including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago, and their respective diasporas across Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, and Europe. Among the significant topics discussed is the issue of reparations for the descendants of indentured labourers. Other noteworthy subjects include diaspora policies in countries suchas India and Suriname, as well as broader policies in the Caribbean. The final section sheds light on heritage, with articles on the historical and contemporary architecture of housing for indentured labourers in Trinidad and temple construction in the Caribbean.
