‘untold: defining moments of the uprooted’ is a collection of short stories about the experiences of the South Asian diaspora. Written by an intergenerational group of storytellers from the US, UK and Canada, it spotlights the diaspora’s challenges, including the shared feeling that they neither belong to their adopted homeland nor the place they left behind.
Each creative nonfiction essay in the anthology explores a defining moment in the author’s life. Touching on subjects such as racism, caste, immigration, colourism, addiction or suicide, they narrate stories that are often “left untold” in the larger South Asian community.
