This book is about an important cultural-political phenomenon, ethno-national diasporas that try to feel at home in their host countries, and yet to maintain close contact with their homelands and promote their culture and interest. It discusses the complex questions of the loyalties of these groups to their homelands and host countries

Moshe Sharett was Israel's second Prime Minister from 1953-55, its Foreign Minister from 1948-56, and one of the founders of the State of Israel. Following Sharett's political life, the book provides a detailed account of major episodes in the modern history of the Holy Land, using previously untapped sources.

Theoretical and analytical systematic and comprehensive consideration of diasporism and diasporas is relatively recent. The first systematic analyses appeared during the 1980s so there are still significant loopholes in their research and examination, as well as in the development of an overall outlook on diasporism and diasporas. As a result, there are also obstacles to a thorough understanding of the phenomenon. After reviewing the existing literature on diasporism and diasporas it is clear that an understanding of diasporas in general and particularly of both their recent involvement in politics, terrorism, and criminal activities in the receiving country, and their cultural, social, and political contributions of the countries of origin and destination is still far from being exhaustive. With the aim of presenting a detailed account of the peculiarities of this phenomenon, this paper describes and analyses the diasporic process in its entirety, going beyond the conventional views that have significantly hindered and limited the scope of the debate on the ethno-national-religious diasporic process in general, and on the contributions or threats generated by diasporas in the receiving countries.

La consideración sistemática, comprehensiva, teórica y analítica del diasporismo y las diásporas es relativamente reciente. Sus primeros análisis sistemáticos comenzaron a producirse en la década de 1980, de modo que existen todavía lagunas significativas en su investigación y análisis así como en la formulación de un panorama general del diasporismo y las diásporas. En consecuencia, existen también dificultades en cuanto a una plena comprensión abarcadora del fenómeno. Al pasar revista a la literatura existente sobre diasporismo y diásporas, se evidencia que la comprensión de las diásporas en general, y particularmente de, por una parte, su reciente involucramiento en política, terrorismo y actividades criminales en los países receptores y, por la otra, sus contribuciones culturales, sociales, políticas y económicas a dichos países y a sus patrias de origen, está muy lejos de ser exhaustiva. Con el objeto de dar cuenta de modo más preciso sobre las particularidades del fenómeno, en este artículo se describe y analiza el fenómeno diaspórico en toda su amplitud, dejando a un lado las miradas convencionales que han obstaculizado y restringido significativamente el alcance del debate sobre el fenómeno diaspórico etno-nacional-religioso en general, y sobre las contribuciones o amenazas generadas por dichas diásporas en sus países receptores.
