Summary: New Cosmopolitanisms offers an in-depth look at the ways in which technology, travel and globalization have altered traditional patterns of immigration for South Asians who live and work in the United States and also explains how their popular cultural practices and aesthetic desires are changing. They are presented as the twenty-first century’s “new cosmopolitanisms”: flexible enough to adjust to globalization's economic, political and cultural imperatives, yet maintaining elements of their distinct identity. They are thus uniquely adaptable to the mainstream cultures of the United States, but also remain vulnerable in a period when nationalism and security have become tools to maintain traditional power relations in a changing world.
