“Study of diasporas provides a useful frame for reimagining locations, movements, identities, and social formations. Using case studies drawn from African and Asian diasporas and immigration in the U.S., New Routes for Diaspora Studies explores diaspora as historical experience and as a category of analysis.”
“Offers a welcome addition to the literature on migration by using the springboard of ‘diaspora’ to address the cross-border movements of people in past and present . . . [and] in mapping diaspora as a process, invites future discussions and interrogations on the subject.”
