About the Book

Malayalees, the inhabitants of Kerala, who could make a name for themselves since they started to stir out of their village moorings from the closing decades of nineteenth century, can in a sense be called a globalised community by virtue of their presence in almost all parts of the world.

The book, a pioneering study on the migratory movements of Keralites, gives a vivid account of the process of migration of Keralites from the very beginning with an array of facts and figures collected from divergent sources. The presentation of outward migration of Keralites within the framework of migration in India makes the book all the more attractive.

The book will be a valuable source of information not only to the hundreds of thousands of Malayalees but also to the academics and the readers alike from far and wide.
