商品描述

This book explores the multifaceted dimensions of the Girmitya diaspora and post-memory. The intersections of dis/re-location and memory have always been a focus of scholarly interest and the volume envisages the roots of migration and culture, life stories, narratives, and personal anecdotes. It further accentuates Girmitiya struggles, politics of displacement, relationships with the homeland and host land, oral traditions, repercussions, and retention of the archival sites. The cross-examination of memories helps in building a framework to study the varied experiences of the Girmitiya community. In this volume, through a blend of historical and scholarly discourse, we embark on a journey to unearth the layers of meaning embedded within the Girmitya experience. The tales of Girmitya migration amplifies marginalized voices and illuminates the enduring resilience. By chronicling the experiences of the indentured migration, we pay homage to the pioneers, recognize the intricacy of their toils, and commemorate the continuing legacy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討了 Girmitya 雜居社群及其後記憶的多面向維度。重新定位與記憶的交集一直是學術界關注的焦點，本書構想了移民與文化的根源、生活故事、敘事及個人軼事。它進一步強調了 Girmitiya 的掙扎、流離失所的政治、與故鄉及寄居地的關係、口述傳統、後果及檔案地點的保留。對記憶的交叉檢視有助於建立一個框架，以研究 Girmitiya 社群的多樣經驗。在本書中，通過歷史與學術論述的融合，我們展開了一段旅程，揭示 Girmitya 經驗中所蘊含的意義層次。Girmitya 移民的故事放大了邊緣化的聲音，並照亮了持久的韌性。通過記錄被契約移民的經歷，我們向先驅者致敬，認識到他們辛勞的複雜性，並紀念持續的遺產。
