Diaspora studies has developed in recent years from disparate
enquiries into diasporic phenomena in political science,
anthropology, history, geography, and literary and cultural
studies. Its emergence as a full-fledged transdisciplinary research
field has been predicated to a large degree on an interest in
questions of dispersal and mobility. Based on the proceedings of an
international conference by the Marie Curie Initial Training
Network CoHaB, this volume undertakes to shift the focus to
phenomena of home-making and the articulation of a sense of
belonging in diasporic contexts. Contributors from a broad range of
disciplines discuss a variety of historical and geographical
instances of diasporas, exploring the methodological and
theoretical challenges posed by the subjects of 'home' and
'belonging'. Including an interview with Homi K. Bhabha on these
subjects and the place of theory in diaspora studies as well as
contributions by such central figures as Pnina Werbner and Ihab
Hassan, the volume aims at offering a new prospectus of the range
and potential of academic work on the cultural formations of
diaspora.
