Reviews
A radically subversive, superbly written ethnographic analysis. . . . Downwardly Global is an excellent book: it has a good range of scholarly references on migration, diaspora, Pakistanis, current feminism, and Canadian society. As a provocative study that raises important questions, it makes a salient contribution to the anthropology of new migration from Pakistan to North America., Ameeriar's book echoes an important refrain from diasporic feminist scholars, insisting that despite the various scales at which disenfranchisement and violence function, migrant women resourcefully find ways to persist., Lalaie Ameeriar's critical examination of multiculturalism offers ethnographic nuance to long existing--and largely theoretical--debates about gender, cultural difference, and the multicultural state. By bringing these debates to life through the everyday lives of the women she interviews, Ameeriar highlights the urgency of these debates, as well as the lessons that we as scholars and citizens have yet to fully learn., As one of the few ethnographies on women from Pakistan, Downwardly Global offers a much-needed counterpoint to North American analyses of diaspora that overwhelmingly privilege the United States. Lalaie Ameeriar assesses the complexity of the role of gender in diasporic and migratory experiences, making a timely intervention into a number of debates and issues, from multiculturalism, the state, and bureaucratic institutions to gender, racialization, and the Pakistani diaspora. An important contribution to South Asian American studies., Of interest to scholars of citizenship and governance, globalization and neoliberalism, gender and embodiment, multiculturalism and race, this book is a rich read for its deployment of analytical concepts and the creation of two new ones: pedagogies of affect and sanitized sensorium.

Synopsis
In Downwardly Global Lalaie Ameeriar examines the transnational labor migration of Pakistani women to Toronto. Despite being trained professionals in fields including engineering, law, medicine, and education, they experience high levels of unemployment and poverty. Rather than addressing this downward mobility as the result of bureaucratic failures, in practice their unemployment is treated as a problem of culture and racialized bodily difference. In Toronto, a city that prides itself on multicultural inclusion, women are subjected to two distinct cultural contexts revealing that integration in Canada represents not the erasure of all differences, but the celebration of some differences and the eradication of others. Downwardly Global juxtaposes the experiences of these women in state-funded unemployment workshops, where they are instructed not to smell like Indian food or wear ethnic clothing, with their experiences at cultural festivals in which they are encouraged to promote these same differences. This form of multiculturalism, Ameeriar reveals, privileges whiteness while using race, gender, and cultural difference as a scapegoat for the failures of Canadian neoliberal policies., Lalaie Ameeriar follows the experiences of immigrant Pakistani women in Toronto who--despite being skilled, white-collar workers--suffer high levels of unemployment and poverty and who are advised by government-sanctioned worker programs to conform to an embodied form of multiculturalism that privileges whiteness and erases difference.
