Content:
"This book considers the impact of movement on creativity and innovation across different diasporic communities. In a highly original examination of twenty-first century migrant life, Parminder Bhachu explores what it is about these groups and individuals which predispose them to create ideas, products and markets. How is it that those who do not come from the traditional structures of power and economic capital are able to thrive and be upwardly mobile? Ethnographic material highlights the life histories and narratives of figures drawn from the worlds of art, science, film, technology, architecture, music and product design, to illustrate themes such as racism, representation, displacement and cultural inheritance"--
