A study of the Indian diaspora in the South Pacific, the volume takes up the historical linkages of the diaspora and highlights aspects of their existence such as their political and moral resilience over the decades. Focusing on Indians in Fiji, Australia and New Zealand, it shows that they are distinct in their own way and their issues vary. It covers the diverse natures of the diaspora—from the politically charged in Fiji to the placid and predictable Indians in New Zealand—and throw light on their concerns such as struggle for settlement and integration of the Punjabi diaspora, political readjustment of the Indians in Fiji and racial and economic tensions, and importance of Indian films in the diasporic context.
