Early modern travelers often did not form part of classic
'diaspora' communities: they frequently never really settled,
perhaps remaining abroad for some time in one place, then traveling
further; not 'blown by the wind,' but by changing and complex
conditions that often turned out to make them unwelcome anywhere.
The dispersed developed strategies of survival by keeping their
distance from old and new temporary 'homes,' as well as by using
information from and manipulating foreign representations of their
former countries. This volume assembles case studies from the
Mediterranean context, the Americas and Japan. They explore what
kind of 'power(s)' and agency dispersed people had,
counterintuitively, through the connections they maintained with
their former homes, and through those they established abroad.
