This concise book provides a critical introduction to the concept of diaspora, bringing a fresh, synthetic perspective to virtually all aspects of this topic. Stéphane Dufoix incorporates a wealth of case studies-about the Jewish, Armenian, African, Chinese, Greek, and Indian experiences- to illustrate key concepts, give a clear overview on current thinking, and reassess the value of the term for us today.Emigration and immigrationHistoryElectronic books.Emigration and immigrationHistory.304.8Dufoix Stéphane879739MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454492803321Diasporas2469856UNINA
