Diasporas in Home Country Politics

Diasporas in Home Country Politics

Notice the new section of the Asch web site! “Diasporas in Home Country Politics” is the new tab at the top of the Asch home page.

Diasporas have been studied for their effects on the economics, politics, and culture of their host countries, usually Western countries. Much less attention has been given to the effects of diasporas on their countries of origin, and especially little attention has been given to diaspora effects on the politics of their countries of origin. This new section of the Asch web site has been initiated to bring together research on precisely this topic: the power of diasporas in home country politics.

Everyone is invited to submit work of this kind–your own or others’–to Clark McCauley (cmccaule@brynmawr.edu). Titles, abstracts, and author emails should be submitted for posting in the new section. The goal is to develop an interdisciplinary subculture that will forward understanding of the power of diasporas, for good and for ill, in home country politics.

The impetus for this new initiative is recent work by Maria Koinova; her three papers already posted provide a fast start for the new section!

Published by the University of Texas Press the book features 100 of Hyman's photographs and six critical essays that depict and discuss the emotional aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks -- a time when people from all walks of life created and encountered memorials to those who were murdered. Vernacular art appeared almost everywhere—on walls, trees, playgrounds, vehicles, houses, tombstones, and even on bodies. This outpouring of grief and other acts of remembrance impelled photographer Jonathan Hyman to document and preserve these largely impermanent, spontaneous expressions. This book, a unique archive of 9/11 public memory, is the result of his compiling a collection of 20,000 photographs, along with field notes and personal interviews.
