Home¿how we experience it and what that says about the ¿selves¿ we come to occupy¿is a crucial question of our contemporary moment. Home, Uprooted delivers one perspective on this question via cross-generational oral histories of Indian Partition refugees. Stories in this book are one iteration of how diasporic migrations might be enacted and what home¿in its sense, absence, presence¿might mean to displaced populations.
