Markers of identity define human groups: who belongs and who is
excluded. These markers are often overt - language, material
culture, patterns of behaviour - and are carefully nurtured between
generations; other times they can be invisible, intangible, or
unconscious. Such markers of identity also travel, and can be
curated, distilled, or reworked in new lands and in new cultural
environments. It has always been thus: markers of identity are
often central to the ties that bind dispersed, diasporic
communities across lands and through time. This book brings
together research that discusses a very wide range of scholarly
approaches, periods, and places - from the Viking diaspora in the
north Atlantic, and Anglo-Saxon treasure hoards, to what DNA can
and cannot reveal about human identity, to modern, multicultural
Martinique, East London, and urban Africa, and the effect of the
absence of geopolitical identity, of statelessness, among the Roma
and Palestinians - to better understand how markers of identity
contribute to the impact of diasporas. This book was originally
published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
