Críticas:

"Diaspora is one of the most critically debated terms in contemporary discussions of migration and identity. Bringing together key essays in the field, this superb collection offers us a comprehensive overview of diasporaa s past politics and potential futures. Above all, it reminds us that diaspora is a distinctly human phenomenon, involving the displacement, movement, and separation of peoples." David L. Eng, Columbia University "Theorizing Diaspora speaks not only to those previously colonized and oppressed Others who have relocated from There to Here, but discusses why deracination is a process that affects all constituencies: those in the newly inhabited metropolis as well as those who remain behind." Grant Farred, Duke University

Reseña del editor:

Bringing together the key essays that have constituted this field since its inception and that point the way toward its future, Theorizing Diaspora is a central resource for understanding diaspora as an emergent and contested theoretical space. * Anthologizes the most influential and critically received essays that have shaped the trajectory of diaspora studies. * Offers classic statements that have defined the field by scholars including Appadurai, Gilroy, Radhakrishnan, and Hall. * Presents divergent strains of multiple diasporas, including Chinese, Black African, Jewish, South Asian, Latin American, and Caribbean. * Reflects the modalities and methodologies of scholars across the humanities and social sciences. * Includes a postscript on diaspora in cyberspace and an extensive bibliography.
