Abstract
ABSTRACTIn today’s western multicultural societies, Eurocentric notions of ‘black’ and ‘white’ have polarised the debate about racial relations and effaced the complexities of interaction between South Asian migrant communities and people of other ethnic and racial backgrounds. This special issue is geared toward exploring how the complexity of contemporary race relations between the South Asian and the African communities, as well as its legacy in Africa, the Caribbean, and the India Ocean, find expression through literary and cultural narratives. Engaging with a variety of colonial and postcolonial contexts – namely Mauritius, South Africa, Bengal, Barbados, Kenya, and Trinidad – our contributors attempt to address gaps in the exploration of race relations from within the South Asian diasporic imaginary and to understand race relations in the context of British colonial-capitalist expansion and of its postcolonial and global inflections.
