Indo-Pacific Diaspora in Peace and Conflict (English, Mark S. Cogan)

Product description Review 'This timely volume offers a compelling exploration of Indo-Pacific diasporas, highlighting their resilience amid transnational repression. Through rich empirical cases--from Kashmiri Pandits in Europe to Indian Muslims in Malaysia--it reveals the complex, intersectional forces shaping diaspora mobilisation and resistance. A vital contribution to diaspora and transnational politics studies.'Élise Féron, PhD, Professor, Peace and Conflict Studies and Director of INCORE, Ulster University, UK 'This collection provides an urgent account of the violence of authoritarianism and exclusion across Asia and the Pacific. By shining a light on the necessity of exile for dissidents and how diasporas are forged, they illuminate the courage of those who dissent and liberatory possibility of community.'Tyrell Haberkorn, PhD, Plaenert-Bascom Professor of Southeast Asian Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison, US About the Author Mark S.
