Text Box: Gujaratis in the West: Evolving Identities in Contemporary Society Anjoom A Mukadam and Sharmina Mawani (eds) December 2007 ISBN: 1847183689 Cambridge Scholars Publishing     'This book is the first major study to discuss Gujaratis in the west as diverse communities. Scholarly research has hitherto focused on Gujaratis as separate castes or individual religions whereas Gujaratis in the west acknowledges that Gujaratis comprise a mixture of various Hindu, Jain and Muslim communities who are linked not only by language but by a cultural history as well as patterns of migration. Anjoom Mukadam and Sharmina Mawani are founders of the Gujarat Studies Association which is an invaluable resource bringing together academics and others interested in the study of Gujarat and its people'.   Professor Rachel Dwyer, Professor of Indian Cultures and Cinema, Department of the Languages and Cultures of South Asia, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.   The Gujarati speaking community of the West reflect both the growing diversity of these societies and the changing landscape of academic disciplines that encompass this new experience in a scholarly way.' This volume is an important contribution that makes available ongoing research in the field and the methodological issues that arise for a number of disciplines that formerly constituted Area Studies, Ethnic Studies or Language and Cultural Studies.'   Professor Azim Nanji, Director, The Institute of Ismaili Studies   To purchase copies of this book click on the link below: Gujaratis in the West: Evolving Identities in Contemporary Society
