‘A Shift of Identity’ is a richly layered exploration of identity, migration, and memory through contemporary art, blending visual culture, feminist critique, diasporic history, and postcolonial theory, all presented through the deeply personal and artistic lens of Sarojini Lewis. In the book she examines the work of contemporary Bhojpuri (North Indian) diaspora artists in Mauritius, Suriname, and Guyana, who navigate complex questions of identity and heritage through their art. Lewis draws connections between archival photographs of earlier generations of Bhojpuri migrants, the oral histories of her Afro-Surinamese relatives, and the work of renowned Indian artists.
