About this title

Review:

Reading the book, I thought, 'Cohen is doing for diaspora what Weber did for religion'.... [This] is an ambitious attempt to theorize the displacement of people... and the social circumstances they create for themselves as they maintain a connection with their (real or imagined) homelands and among their co-ethnics.--Fran Markowitz"American Anthropologist" (01/01/1999)

Reading the book, I thought, 'Cohen is doing for diaspora what Weber did for religion'. . . . [This] is an ambitious attempt to theorize the displacement of people . . . and the social circumstances they create for themselves as they maintain a connection with their (real or imagined) homelands and among their co-ethnics.

--Fran Markowitz"American Anthropologist" (01/01/1999)

From the Back Cover:

During the early modern period, trade and labour diasporas girded the mercantilist and early capitalist worlds. Today the term has changed again, often implying a positive and ongoing relationship between migrants' homelands and their places of work and settlement. In his perceptive and arresting analysis, Robin Cohen illuminates all the changing meanings of diaspora and the contemporary diasporic condition.
