The Dialectics of Diaspora: Memory, Location and Gender 

This book reflects developments in the field of diasporic studies. The articles have been grouped into two sections. The first section focuses on the experiences of diasporic Africans; the second section broadens the radius of research and focuses on literary representations of the diaspora to include Asian Americans, Puerto Ricans and Anglo-Europeans. Similarly, a no less interesting aspect of this book is the many ways in which Paul Gilroy's ideas have been re-theorised and applied to a myriad of writings. Indeed, the articles attest to diaspora as an experience that can potentially — as it does — affect everyone, so that diaspora becomes a metonymic representation of the experience itself.
