Recenzii
A very useful addition in the field of diaspora studies, which is an extremely important emerging discipline.
- J. C. Sharma, Former Member Secretary, High Level Committee on Indian Diaspora
… This thought-provoking book addresses the correlation between development and global diasporas from an interdisciplinary perspective. It has the merit of looking in-depth into systematic and prospective contributions by diasporas to the development in their home countries, including profound impact on poverty reduction.… [T]he book is a leap forward in the comprehension of socio-economic, cultural and policy dimensions of global diasporas….
Dr. Armen Baibourtian, Senior Adviser, United Nations, Armenia
… This book is an excellent attempt – a creative brainstorm of fresh ideas and visions – to provide well-embedded case studies and theoretical new insights.… In this well-edited and ambitious volume, the authors focus on diasporas being the human face of the globalization process. The book is a must read for students, scholars and policy makers in the field of diasporas and development.
- Prof. Gijsbert Oonk, Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication, Rotterdam, Netherlands; author of Settled Strangers. Asian Business Elites in East Africa, 1800-2000
… This book links the economic, social and cultural aspects of diasporas in Asia,Africa, Europe, North America and the Caribbean. In bringing these themes together for the varied diasporas, it gives a comparative picture across perspectives, regions and histories. It also usefully connects this discussion to policy directions regarding the use of knowledge networks, transfer of skills and the flow of remittances.
- Prof. Supriya Singh, Sociology of Communications, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia
This book is an invaluable contribution to the growing literature on global diasporas. With its focus on socio-economic, cultural and policy perspectives, this edited volume serves to enrich our understanding in today's context of globalisation, neo-liberalism and transnationalism. The book will be of interest to scholars, students and policy makers. Sahoo and Pattanaik have done a great job.
- Prof. Ravinder Barn, Professor of Social Policy, University of London, London, UK
Sahoo and Pattanaik offer the reader a path-opening and comprehensive view of the complex relationship of diaspora and development. Relying on an impressive collection of authors from various parts of the world, the book displays the many dimensions of the diaspora-development nexus (economy, finance, knowledge, political engagement, exclusion, gender and culture…) through a selection of highly relevant cases in different continents. This is a timely scholarly initiative, particularlyrelevant when this issue has obviously become one of the most important ones, in our times.
- Prof. Stéphane Dufoix, University of Paris Ouest Nanterre, France, author of Diasporas.
Sadananda Sahoo and B.K. Pattanaik’s superb collection of interdisciplinary essays provides the readers with insights into a wide range of issues related to the complex and multifaceted reality of diasporas in the global arena. It is a wonderful addition to the existing literature, while it offers new approaches to the nexus between diasporas and international development.

This volume discusses how diasporas have evolved and engaged in economic, social
and cultural domains of their host and home countries across the globe. The volume is
divided into six parts, discussing the issues, challenges and development experiences of
diasporas; diaspora finance and economic development; knowledge transfer; the politics
of inclusion and exclusion; gender and cultural representations of diasporas in literature
and performing arts. It is truly a global representation of diasporic engagement. Its contributions
come from experts in various disciplines across the globe, and the chapters
cover discussions from countries as far apart as New Zealand and the Caribbean. The
contributors discuss major issues related to local communities’ engagement with the
diaspora and diaspora–home relations in Africa, South Asia, New Zealand, Europe and
the USA, providing a panoramic view of diasporic flows in the twenty-first century. The
interdisciplinary thrust of the volume, together with its global focus, makes it useful to
researchers, academics and experts from the social sciences, population sciences and
development studies, as also to analysts and policymakers across the world.
