A collective learning resource that offers inquiries about diasporic identity and belonging aimed at practicing global solidarityWhat does it mean to be in diaspora? How do our identities and aspirations for belonging unfold during times of collective upheaval?In her lifelong search for solidarity, educator Gayatri Sethi draws upon her own complex diasporic journey to explore widely accepted ideas about identity and belonging. Spanning three continents and multiple phases of the author's life, Diaspora-ish offers inquiries into many facets of identity-names, relationships, ethnicities, citizenships-and poignantly demonstrates how these are weaponized to exclude and other. Addressing prevalent misconceptions about immigration, Sethi pushes for a deeper understanding of migration and diaspora that centers decoloniality and anti-imperialism. Diaspora-ish is an urgent call to unlearn oppressions in order to work bravely toward collective liberation.In an extension of her genre-bending nonfiction debut Unbelonging, Sethi juxtaposes personal observations with academic notes and inquiries to guide readers through paradigm shifts in learning. Diaspora-ish presents an anti-imperial, anti-racist, collective learning resource that centers historically marginalized and excluded global realities.
