Shukla, Sandhya. "India Abroad: Transnational Ethnic Cultures in the United States and Britain, 1947-1997," Program in American Studies, Yale University, September 1997.
This dissertation examines Indian immigrant cultures in the United States and Britain during the period following Indian independence in 1947. Through a consideration of the ways that Indians have constructed individual and group identities in a range of cultural formations that include social and political movements, entrepreneurial communities, immigrant newspapers, autobiography and fiction, it argues that Indian diasporic ethnicity emerged from the postwar rise of India and from old and new forms of globalization. In discussing immigrant cultures in two sites, the United States and Britain, the dissertation also explores the comparative trajectories of class and race formation in a transnational context and, ultimately, interrogates traditional models for immigration and assimilation.
