Introduction

This innovative study engages critically with existing conceptualisations of diaspora, arguing that if diaspora is to have an analytical purchase, it should illuminate a specific angle of migration or migrancy.

To reveal the much-needed transformative potential of the concept, the book looks specifically at how diasporas undertake translation and decolonisation.

Focus and Scope

It offers various conceptual tools for investigating diaspora, with a specific focus on diasporas in the Global North and a detailed empirical study of the Kurdish diaspora in Europe.

Additional Considerations

The book also considers the backlash diasporas of colour have faced in the Global North.
