Ishan Ashutosh, a lecturer at Northumbria University, reviews Aspiring to Home: South Asians in America. The book examines South Asian diasporic communities and cultural formation. The book author argues that South Asian diasporic communities are formed within national multicultural and neoliberal state formation. She shows the process of transnational movements, the impact on conceptions of nation, ethnicity, and immigration in both the US and South Asia.
