DIASPORA-ISH

A genre-bending nonfiction exploration of what it means to live, think, and belong in the world’s many diasporas. Drawing on her own complex diasporic journey across continents, Sethi weaves personal reflection with cultural inquiry to examine how identities — from names and relationships to citizenship and ethnicity — are shaped, weaponized, and negotiated. The book challenges common assumptions about migration and belonging and invites readers to rethink diasporic experience through lenses of decoloniality, anti-imperialism, and collective solidarity. Far more than a memoir or academic treatise, Diaspora-ish is a thoughtful, urgent call to unlearn exclusionary narratives and embrace a more inclusive, justice-oriented understanding of identity and community.
