Homelands and Diasporas: Holy Lands and Other Places de André Levy

Homelands and Diasporas: Holy Lands and Other Places

Editat de André Levy, Alex Weingrod
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 noi 2004
This collection focuses fresh attention on the relationships between "homeland" and "diaspora" communities in today's world. Based on in-depth anthropological studies by leading scholars in the field, the book highlights the changing character of homeland-diaspora ties. Homelands and Diasporas offers new understandings of the issues that these communities face and explores the roots of their fascinating, yet sometimes paradoxical, interactions. The book provides a keen look at how "homeland" and "diaspora" appear in the lives of both Israeli Jews and Israeli Palestinians and also explores how these issues influence Pakistanis who make their home in England, Armenians in Cyprus and England, Cambodians in France, and African-Americans in Israel. The critical views advanced in this collection should lead to a reorientation in diaspora studies and to a better understanding of the often contradictory changes in the relationships between people whose lives are led both "at home and away."

Recenzii

"A stunning collection. Using the Israeli/Jewish/Palestinian problem as a central example and point of departure, the authors succeed in doing what classic anthropology does best: arguing a theoretical case from detailed ethnographic data but doing so in a context that is postmodern rather than merely modern. They engage currently fashionable ideas in a critical but constructive fashion, fusing their individually insightful analyses in a powerful vision of the complexities and unexpected developments that much earlier theorizing on these topics failed to anticipate or address." —Michael Herzfeld,Harvard University
