'Simultaneously panoramic and precise, this volume offers authoritative, inclusive, yet blessedly focused articles on the terms, concepts, and perspectives that collectively define the field of diaspora studies.' -Professor Khachig Tololyan, Editor, 'Diaspora: A Journal of Transnational Studies' 'As scholarly approaches to Diasporas develop a global profile and span a variety of disciplines, this book provides an incisive account of the state of the art. Its illuminating emphasis on the evolution of theme and concept is enriched by an attention to specific historical events and cultural conditions that makes this work an indispensable companion to global studies.'- Homi K. Bhabha, Anne F. Rothenberg Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University 'Bringing together an impressive array of distinguished interdisciplinary scholars with wide-ranging perspectives on the cultural and historical significance of contemporary diasporas worldwide, this book provides an essential companion to understanding the complex evolution of concepts of migration and identity and their vital impact on shaping the direction of public and academic debate today. Providing an unusual combination of theory and practice, historical context and case-studies, this book opens several new doors, exposing crucial connections previously eclipsed in this dynamic field' - Professor Susheila Nasta, Open University and Editor of Wasafiri
