The eruption of identity-based movements throughout the world has made the question of space, particularly land and territory, a focus of critical attention among scholars. This volume brings together eleven thoughtful and thought provoking articles on a wide range of topics on the subject of space and its relationship to displacement, politics, identity, and community. The essays cover mainly South Asian topics and are arranged in five parts: Global History, American Studies; Worldliness, Space, and Sovereignty; Virtual Territory, Imagined Communities; Diasporic Relocation and Identity; and India and Its Margins. Many of the contributors have achieved high distinction in their respective fields. Their disciplines range from history, anthropology, and American Studies to cinema studies and postcolonial studies. We believe research scholars as well as graduate students in these fields will benefit from the theoretical rigor and practical insights to be found in these remarkable essays.
