Diaspora - A History of the Diaspora

The term diaspora has become widespread in the last century. Not all migrations and transcenet national netuals can be described as forming a diaspora, writes Stuart hall. Two aspects are essential for the vurgence of a Diaspora: forced uprooting and often violent dispersal of destruction and loss. This is what africans experienced when they were brought to the caribbean as indentured laborers. And this is what jews experienced after being expelled from their ancestral land - called 'ias ora' by Jews.
