Reihe: Theory for a Global Age

This book proposes a new way of conceptualising diaspora by examining how diasporas do translation and decolonisation. It provides conceptual tools for investigating diasporas and their interventions and considers diaspora as ‘the global south in the global north’, as well as providing a case study of the Kurdish diaspora in Europe.
