Diaspora: A Very Short Introduction by Kevin Kenny
Diaspora: A Very Short Introduction examines the origins of diaspora as a concept, its changing meanings over time, its current popularity, and its utility in explaining human migration. The book proposes a flexible approach to diaspora based on examples drawn mainly from Jewish, African, Irish, and Asian history.
This book is significant to the field because it grounds future writers, readers, and researchers beginning their study in diasporaThrough broad strokes of its history and development, Kenny does a good job putting it within migration and prioritizing a definition for usage of diaspora as a way to 'explain' or 'describe' certain migrations. * Eric Tuls, Migration Researcher *
