New Diasporas examines the phenomenon of widespread global migration in the last quarter of the twentieth century. This authoritative work develops the theoretical concept of diaspora and investigates the formation and reformation of diasporic groups in relation to issues of socio-economic development, truman rights, and the nation-state.Focusing on ten migration crises in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and Central America, the author charts the formation of these new transnational communities and analyzes their social, economic and political fall-out. In addition, considerable discussion is given to the factors that are facilitating and accelerating the growth of these movements; in particular, the disintegration and reconstitution of nation-states. The author examines the future for these new diasporas, questioning their predicted impact on the twenty-first century's political economy. New Diasporas will prove an essential and lively guide for students of ethnicity, migration, political science, international relations, and population geography.

Refugia: Radical Solutions to Mass Displacement (Key Ideas)

This is an unusual book. Combining social science fiction, utopianism, pragmatism, sober analysis and innovative social theory, the authors address one of the biggest dilemmas of our age – how to solve the problems arising from mass displacement. As early versions of the solution proposed by Robin Cohen and Nicholas Van Hear filtered out, their vision of a new, networked, transnational archipelago, called Refugia, was immediately denounced or met with scepticism by established refugee scholars. Others were more intrigued, more open-minded, or perhaps just holding their fire until this book was finally published. As it at least has the virtue of originality, why not judge the proposal for yourself? Read it and craft your own critique. The authors have initiated an openly pro-refugee vision that all can help to shape. Written in a clear and direct style, this book will appeal to scholars, students, practitioners and an informed public ready to engage with this pressing issue.
