Includes bibliographical references and index.
Purnima Mankekar offers a new understanding of the affective and temporal dimensions of how India and 'Indianness', as objects of knowledge production and mediation, circulate through transnational public cultures. Based on over a decade of ethnographic fieldwork in New Delhi and the San Francisco Bay Area, Mankekar tracks the sense of unsettlement experienced by her informants in both places, disrupting binary conceptions of homeland and diaspora, and the national and transnational.
