Dismantling Diasporas

Re-energising debates on the conceptualisation of diasporas in migration scholarship and in geography, this work stresses the important role that geographers can play in interrupting assumptions about the spaces and processes of diaspora. The intricate, material and complex ways in which those in diaspora contest, construct and perform identity, politics, development and place is explored throughout this book. This innovative volume tackles comparative, multi-sited and multi-method research through compelling case studies in a variety of contexts spanning the Global North and South.
