Borders give rise to the line of division, the suffering of homelessness, and the loss of culture. The book masterfully ties together the stories of those who have been uprooted and have endured humiliating experiences abroad, as well as the voyage of Indian writers who were dispersed, including Jhumpa Lahiri, Kiran Desai and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. Moreover, the book bears witness to the disadvantaged and disgraced migrants, refugees, and exiles who have used their writing to highlight effectively the concerns related to migration.
Muses and Measures
This book is required reading for humanistic disciplines. Too often, scholars present theories without knowing how to test them empirically. In an engaging way, the authors teach statistics, leading students through projects to analyze their own gathered data.
