It presents a wide range of examples: post-apartheid practices and experiences in a South African dance company, contestations over national identity politics in Trinidadian music competitions, essentialist and assimilationist strategies in a British dance competition, the new musical creativity of second-generation British-Tamil performers, Indian classical dance projects of reform and British multiculturalism, feminist intercultural performances in Australia, and performance re-enactments of museum exhibits that critically examine the past. Key topics under discussion include postcolonial contestations, decolonising scholarship, dialogic pedagogies and intellectual responsibility. The book critically reflects on decolonising aims around respect, equality and the colonial past's redress as expressed through performing arts projects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresenting richly detailed case studies that underline the need to examine creative processes in the cultures of decolonisation, \u003cem\u003eDance, Music and Cultures of Decolonisation in the Indian Diaspora\u003c\/em\u003e will be of great interest to scholars of South Asian Studies, Diaspora Studies, Performing Arts Studies and Anthropology.
