International migrants - uprooted from family, friends, and nation-state, and scattered across the globe - form vibrant diasporic communities. Whether through economic migration, political asylum, or corporate mobility, this type of wide scale dispersion of populations brings with it a myriad of important issues.
Diaspora: An Introduction offers a critical overview of this timely field of study, with a specific focus on diasporic shifts post-1989 and post-9/11. The text is organized thematically, reaching beyond human migration to explore globalization, global terror war, and post-9/11 geopolitical and geo-economic shifts. It investigates the fractured politics of national boundaries and the often arduous journey involved in crossing borders, as well as tensions surrounding terrorism, homeland security, and immigrant and "enemy combatant" detention practices. The book also examines the geopolitical and legal realignments that influence diasporic communities, global migration patterns, and world-wide debates about citizenship, nationality, and political belonging.
