Diaspora

An Introduction

Contributors: Braziel, Jana Evans

This introduction highlights key topics significant to contemporary discussions of diaspora and stressing the substantial impact these migratory shifts have on global capital.


  • Offers a critical introduction to diaspora - the study of dispersed ethnic populations - with specific focus on migratory shifts post-1989 and post 9/11
  • Examines the ways global capitalist shifts and the global terrorism war impact diaspora movements since the mid-1990s
  • Includes discussion of globalization, the global terror war, and post-9/11 geopolitical and geo-economic shifts
  • Engages directly with the political and ideological formations of the contemporary diaspora movement
  • Provides comprehensive analysis of labour and economic migration; the relationship of diaspora to gender and race; queer diasporas; and diasporic 'acts of resistance'
  • Theorizing Diaspora (2003), Braziel's groundbreaking anthology, offers complementary readings for this text
