In a perspective and arresting analysis, Robin Cohen introduces his distinctive approach to the study of the world's diasporas. The book investigates the changing meanings of the conceptand the contemporary diasporic condition, including case studies of Jews, Armenians, Africans, Chinese, British, Indians, Lebanese and Caribbean peoples. This book had a major impact on diaspora studies and was the foundational text in emerging research and teaching field. This second edition extends and clarifies Cohen's argument, addresses some critiques and outlines new perspectives for the study of diasporas. The book has also been made more student-friendly with illustrations, guided readings and suggested essays questions.
