This book argues that Chadha’s work offers relevant and sensitive portrayals of the members of the diaspora community that make these films of contemporary and enduring value, highlighting their challenges in hybridization and acculturation in the societies they migrate to and the historical and political exigencies that influence their everyday existence. Contributors analyze Chadha’s films in the context of cultural milieus including multiculturalism, narration and representation, ethnicity, literary adaptation, and intercultural negotiations, while also exploring Chadha’s own role as an auteur. Scholars of film studies, Indian cinema, diaspora studies, sociology, and cultural studies will find this book particularly useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShilpa Daithota Bhat \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1: Transnational Culture and Contexts \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1:Gurinder Chadha as a Scriptwriter: the Auteur in Dialogue with Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s The Mistress of Spices\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCristina M.
