Multifarious Transnational Engagements of Contemporary Diaspora Members: From Revolving-Door Universalists to Multinationals and Site-Hopping Vagabonds
In: Diaspora: a journal of transnational studies, Band 20, Heft 1, S. 1-19
Abstract
Drawing on recent studies of diaspora and its members' transnational engagements, which treat the former as fuzzy-boundary, context-dependent groupings and the latter as multifaceted (rather than two-pronged) relationships, I explore in this article the notion of diasporans' polymorphous and multidirectional transnational commitments; identify different types of such involvements; and propose a preliminary list of macro- and micro-level circumstances contributing to multifarious transnationalism. In conclusion, I consider the implications of the notion of diaspora members' multifarious transnational engagements for the study of (im)migrant transnationalism in general and suggest some questions for future research on this phenomenon.
