This volume brings into focus a range of less discussed, newly emergent and recognised issues related to Indian women in the diaspora. The conditions propelling women's migration and their experiences during the process of migration and settlement have always been different and very specific to them. The main idea in this volume is to understand women's agency in addressing and redressing the complex issues faced by them; in restructuring the cultural formats of patriarchy and gender relations; managing the emerging conflicts over what is to be transmitted to the following generations, and how social history is to be interpreted; renegotiating their domestic roles and embracing new professional and educational successes; adjusting with the institutional structures of the host state; and using the space 'in between' the two worlds as an opportunity to assert independence, redefine their roles and perceptions of self. The essays included in the volume discuss women in the Indian diaspora from multidisciplinary perspectives involving social, economic, cultural, and political aspects. Such an effort privileges diasporic women's experiences and perspectives in the academia and among policy makers.
