- Book 3 of 7: Edinburgh Studies on Diasporas and Transnationalism
- Brings together a rich anthology of case studies and theoretical frameworks regarding the immigrant population in the US
- Outlines the contributions of immigrants and diasporas to the US scientific and economic hegemony
- Analyses the historical outcome of major ethnic diaspora groups such as Italians, the Irish, Armenians, Jews, Indians, Chinese, Africans, Muslims, Arabs and Mexicans in the US
- Includes novel lines of research, e.g. diaspora diplomacy, diasporas and soft/ hard power, political organisation of migrants, civic engagement, post-liberalism and immigration, assimilation, integration, and liminality
- Discusses public responsibility and the paradoxes of immigrants rejecting the new immigrants in an adverse populist context of border closure and increased anti-elite discourse
By bringing together eminent scholars, this book highlights the current scholarship in the field of migration, which tries to present a counter-narrative to popular anti-immigrant rhetoric and populist domestic politics. There has been a growing global trend of alternative histories and anthropologies that brings forth the voices from the margins and the developing world. This volume, in that sense, without undermining the US's eminence, tries to deprovincialise (Burke, 2020) or deparochialise it from within or through the histories of the immigrants. In other words, it attempts to re-read the US's emergence as an important power with immigration as the site of analysis. It provides a comprehensive and in-depth theoretical and empirical discussion that will appeal to scholars and practitioners alike.
