Transforming Diaspora brings together an eclectic collection of
essays that challenges traditional understandings of the diasporic
condition. Most studies of diaspora privilege place, thus creating
a binary between homeland and hostland. This book argues that the
emerging forces of transnationalism and globalization have rendered
such a division obsolete. Rather, the editors posit
transnationalism and globalization to be fundamental
characteristics of contemporary diasporic communities. Exploring
the effects of the present historical moment on diaspora, the
essays examine the changes in the relationships between diasporas,
homelands, and hostlands. The collection is divided into two broad
categories. The first section offers reinterpretations of the
fundamental understandings of diaspora. The second section explores
the complex relationship between the theoretical concept of
diaspora and the realities of daily life for diasporic citizens.
