What can be learnt from Bhachu’s Movers and Makers. Uncertainty, Resilience and Migrant Creativity in Worlds of Flux

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

In my new book #MoversandMakersBook, I write about multiple-migrants who have been uprooted, and rerouted, to become the most innovative creatives in the world. They advance their skills and capital with every move and discover the new. I was inspired by work of @ricardo_hausman

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

In my new book #moversandmakersbook, I write about the #sharism of multiple migrants who been having been uprooted and rerooted, and are the most daring innovators who think in new ways, whilst sharing their resources and knowledge with supreme generosity for the greater good.

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

In my new book #MoversandMakersBook, I write about innovators from multiple-migrant backgrounds who have been uprooted and re-routed, to become the most daring and dexterous creatives, who can discover the new and untrodden, like @NoubarAfeyan whom I write about in this book.

In a new series of conversations with authors at Clark University, I will be discussing my book "Movers and Makers: Uncertainty, Resilience and Migrant Creativity in Worlds of Flux" (Routledge, 2021). Please join us via Zoom, 21 September 2021, 7-8pm https://t.co/xNeEz5vcdi.

My new book #moversandmakers is about creative multiple migrants who take great risks and remain resilient, a theme of central interest to @SherySandberg whose grandmother migrated from Eastern Europe with three children, a paucity of possessions and resources.

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

My new book #moversandmakers, describes immigrant innovators who possess "movement capital", a powerful sharing of creativity which is a prodcut of crossing international borders. Their Creative Commons sensibility is like that of the"Read-write" cultures described by @Lessig.

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

@RSHParchitects In my new book #MoversandMakers, I write about Amarjit Kalsi whose innovative creativity and magical drawing skills were so powerfully determined by his life of movement and multiple migrations, in a chapter entitled "Lyrical architect and virtuoso draughtsman."

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

#MoverandMakers my new book on immigrant makers, who are the most innovative creatives in the contemporary world, are generating maker domains that share their distributive aesthetics and skills. Some similarities to the resurgence of maker spaces described by @JulietSchor

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

#MoversandMakers, my new book explores @TomFriedman's recommendation to acquire an "immigrant sensibility" as a solution to the problems that vex the US. He says "nothing is owed to you, nothing is given..You have make it on your own.. and earn your place in the world".

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

You are invited to "Exploring South Asian Migrants Resilience and Creativity in Times of Extreme Change", a conversation on the themes of my new book Movers and Makers and also on my concept of Twice Migrants. Time Monday 17th May 2021, 5pm GMT. See @UKPHA for further details.

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

My new book on Movers and Makers aligns with @chr1sa's narrative in his book, Makers: The New Industrial Revolution, of the inventive powers of immigrants like his grandfather, a maker-inventor who inspired Chris to become the amazing innovator he is.

So thankful to @IlanStavans for his endorsement of my book Movers & Makers about #creative #migrants. He writes, "There is much to learn from these characters, primarily that an itinerant life, yours and that of your ancestors, defines your DNA and the way you think of ‘home’."

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

@DeshpalPanesar You should recieve your copy soon. It has been sent to you. It is about the background of movement that has produced us, a heritage and durable cultural capital that we carry and that many of us hardly ever think about. Yet it defines our lives in manifold ways.

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

@DeshpalPanesar Deshu my new book is coming out on Wednesday. It is so relevant to the times and also our lived experiences as border crossing multiple migrants from old diasporas. Will make sure you get a copy of the book. I thank your parents in it. https://t.co/YklOMEWjFX

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

@thesinghtwins @simon_schama So proud to share your story with the world. You are both exceptionally gifted and resilient. As I write in Movers and Makers, despite virulent opposition to your style, you have disrupted the artistic status quo and created an entirely new creative space with enormous moxie.

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

My book #MoversAndMakers will be published this week. I write in it about the amazing @thesinghtwins as multifaceted makers and defiant disruptors of the artistic status quo. @simon_schama refers to them as "the artistic face of modern Britain". https://t.co/YklOMEWjFX

[Parminder Bhachu @pbhachu]

One more week before the publication of my book #MoversAndMakers. I am very proud to have finished it after the extreme #disruption of losing my home in a fire. I write about #resilience, #uncertainty, and creating innovative lives, despite times of extreme change.
