- Summary
- This book identifies those aspects of migratory experience that shatter or reinforce a group's attachment to its homeland and affect its readiness to adapt to a new country. The contributors of this collection examine many dimensions of life in the Diaspora and demonstrate that identity is always constructed in relation to others. They show how religious identity in Diaspora is mediated by many other factors such as gender, class, ethnic origin, and national status. A central aim is to understand Diaspora as an agent of social and cultural cahnge, particularly in its transformative impact on women.
