Culture and emotional economy of migration / Badri Narayan - New York Routledge 2017 - 172 p.

This book studies how migration is a motivating constituent in the production of popular culture in both the homeland and the destination. It looks at the complex formations of cultures in the process of identity-making of approximately 200 million Indians scattered across the world, from colonial to contemporary times. The volume is an in-depth exploration of the flow of cultures and their interactions through a study of north Indian migrants who underwent two waves of emigration—from the Bhojpuri region to the Dutch colony of Suriname to work on sugar, coffee, cotton and cocoa plantations and their descendants who moved to The Netherlands following the Surinamese independence in 1975.
