The word 'diaspora' has leapt from its previously confined use -
mainly concerned with the dispersion of Jews, Greeks, Armenians and
Africans away from their natal homelands - to cover the cases of
many other ethnic groups, nationalities and religions. But this
'horizontal' scattering of the word to cover the mobility of many
groups to many destinations, has been paralleled also by 'vertical'
leaps, with the word diaspora being deployed to cover more and more
phenomena and serve more and more objectives of different actors.
With sections on 'debating the concept', 'complexity', 'home and
home-making', 'connections' and 'critiques', the Routledge Handbook
of Diaspora Studies is likely to remain an authoritative reference
for some time. Each contribution includes a targeted list of
references for further reading. The editors have carefully blended
established scholars of diaspora with younger scholars looking at
how diasporas are constructed 'from below'. The adoption of a
variety of conceptual perspectives allows for generalization,
contrasts and comparisons between cases. In this exciting and
authoritative collection over 40 scholars from many countries have
explored the evolving use of the concept of diaspora, its
possibilities as well as its limitations. This Handbook will be
indispensable for students undertaking essays, debates and
dissertations in the field.
