AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Mishra applies and extends Heidegger's concept of Dasein - 'the already being-in-the-world of human beings' - by placing it in the context of diaspora. He comments on temporality, on the sensation of being and not-being at home and on the possibility of discontinuity within identity. The essay is peppered with personal anecdotes relating to the author's travels in Europe and Britain and to his Indo-Fijian heritage.
