The age of imperialism marked a significant era characterized by the widespread movement of workers on a massive scale, facilitated by systems of slavery and indenture. These migrations not only brought about the settlement of uprooted African and Asian laborers in new territories but also intertwined the histories of rulers, ruled, civilized, and uncivilized individuals from diverse continents. This interconnectedness gave rise to plural societies. However, the narratives surrounding these migrations were predominantly shaped by colonial legacies and frameworks of reference.

In contemporary times, these historical colonial narratives are being critically examined and nuanced through multidisciplinary academic engagements. The authors in this volume, particularly emphasizing the role of gender, raise thought-provoking questions and offer fresh perspectives on the conceptualization, documentation, and writing of gendered migrations within the diaspora.
