Produktbeschreibung

Transforming Diaspora explores the effects of the present historical moment on diaspora. These essays examine the changing relationships between diasporas, homelands, and hostlands within the context of transnationalism and globalization. Transforming Diaspora teases out the distinguishing characteristics of distinct diasporic communities and experiences to challenge the monolithic construction of diasporic identity.
