A study of the unique experiences of South Asian migrants in Toronto.
Twice Migrated, Twice Displaced reveals the multiple migration patterns of Indian and Pakistani migrants via Persian Gulf countries, and the class, gender, racial, and religious discrimination they encounter both during their journey and upon arrival in Canada. Tania Das Gupta shows how neoliberal economies in Canada, South Asia, and the Persian Gulf divide families across borders by devaluing labor and dismantling public welfare. The hybrid identities that result, Gupta argues, should change how we think about community building, class mobility, discrimination, and citizenship in an increasingly transnational world.

Hardback. Condition: New. Twice Migrated, Twice Displaced explores the lives of Gulf South Asians who arrived in the Greater Toronto Area from India and Pakistan via Persian Gulf countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Tania Das Gupta reveals the multiple migration patterns of this unique group, analyzing themes such as gender, racial, and religious discrimination; class mobility; the formation of transnational families; and identities in a post-9/11 context.Twice Migrated, Twice Displaced concludes that neoliberal economies in South Asia, the Gulf, and Canada create conditions for flexible labour by privatizing and diminishing social welfare. As migrants then search for employment, families are split across borders - making those relationships more precarious. The ambivalent, hybrid identities that result have implications for Canada in terms of community building, diaspora, citizenship, and migrants' sense of belonging. Seller Inventory # LU-9780774865661
