In The Diaspora Strikes Back the eminent ethnic and cultural
studies scholar Juan Flores flips the process on its head: what
happens to the home country when it is being constantly fed by
emigrants returning from abroad? He looks at how 'Nuyoricans'
(Puerto Rican New Yorkers) have transformed the home country,
introducing hip hop and modern New York culture to the Caribbean
island. While he focuses on New York and Mayaguez (in Puerto Rico),
the model is broadly applicable. Indians introducing contemporary
British culture to India; New York Dominicans bringing slices of
New York culture back to the Dominican Republic; Mexicans bringing
LA culture (from fast food to heavy metal) back to Guadalajara and
Monterrey. This ongoing process is both massive and global, and
Flores' novel account will command a significant audience across
disciplines.
