The anthology embraces heterogeneity and celebrates the diverse ways in which South Asian diasporic visual arts are perceived in the new millennium. These essays engage in critical conversations around themes such as 'home' and 'homeland' in Afghan cinema, as well as the Partition of India, illustrating how contemporary South Asian film and drama offer radical, topical, and new perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essays are a vibrant mix of voices from international contributors, making this volume a unique cross-cultural bridge that dissolves borders and challenges cultural preconceptions. The book engages in a nuanced discourse on the duality of South Asian ‘diasporic’ and ‘domiciled’ visual arts, offering fresh insights into the interwoven relationship between global and local contexts in South Asian cinema and theatre. Through this anthology, readers are invited to navigate beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and explore the dynamic intersections of South Asian identity, culture, and politics in the world of performing arts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume is not only an important resource for research students but also a valuable tool for academicians and scholars engaged with South Asian Studies, Film Studies, Cultural Studies, and Theatre Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSouth Asian Diasporic Cinema and Theatre: A Critical Introduction\u003c\/strong\u003e – Ajay K.
