Global Nepalis
DETAILED SUMMARY / BACK COVER
Delving into the intricate history and contemporary landscape of Nepali migration, "Global Nepalis" offers a comprehensive study of how communities from Nepal have spread across the globe. From ancient movements within the Himalayas to modern international labor and education-driven migrations, this volume explores the diverse contexts—from the USA and the Gulf to India, Burma, and Singapore—where large numbers of Nepalis have settled or work long-term. It critically analyzes the process of "ethnogenesis," examining how strong ethnic identities emerge and solidify within these diasporic populations, often more robustly than in the homeland.
