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. 606 $aEmigration and immigration$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration$xHistory. 676 $a304.8 700 $aDufoix$b Ste?phane$0879739 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454492803321 996 $aDiasporas$92469856 997 $aUNINA
