Bombay--London--New York
ISBN: 9780415942119 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When Amitava Kumar left Patna, India, he envisioned himself as an up-and-coming citizen of the world, leaving behind the confines of Indian traditions. Yet like the wave of exiles that preceded him, he found that once we leave our past, we are defined by it: in the U.S. he is pigeonholed by his appearance and quizzed about saris and arranged marriages.
"There is no beginning that is a blank page," writes Kumar. Circling the three capitals of the Indian diaspora, "Bombay-London-New York" captures the contours of the expatriate experience, touching on the themes of abandonment, nostalgia,...
