Description
Global Diasporas: An Introduction provides an essential framework for understanding one of the most important phenomena of our time—the dispersal of peoples across the world. Robin Cohen examines what constitutes a diaspora, tracing historical and contemporary examples from Jewish, Armenian, African, Chinese, and Caribbean communities to Indian and Palestinian populations.
The second edition updates this seminal work with fresh perspectives on how globalization, technology, and transnational networks have transformed diasporic experiences. Cohen analyzes the complex relationships between diaspora members and their homelands, explores questions of identity and belonging, and considers how diasporic communities contribute to both their adopted countries and countries of origin.
This accessible yet scholarly text is invaluable for students of migration studies, anthropology, sociology, and international relations seeking to understand the cultural, economic, and political dimensions of global diasporas in the twenty-first century.
