Abstract
kavita Daiya’s opening lines in ‘Graphic Migrations: Precarity and Gender in india and the Diaspora’ sets the tone of the monograph that playfully captures the essence of historical, documented anecdotes with personal and intimate stories. From the very beginning the reader knows this is a book about a journey –both taken and missed. At some level, Daiya reminds me of Suketu Mehta’s This land is our land: An immigrants’ Manifesto (2019). At some other level, it resonates with my own experiences as an indian immigrant in Germany. This identification with the political and the personal – all at once with that one opening sentence is what makes Daiya’s book special, memorable and a keeper.
