| | Diaspora |
 | | Despite the creation of the state of Israel in 1948, the vast majority of the Jewish people remains in the diaspora, notably in North America, Russia, and Ukraine. |  | | The diaspora became a permanent feature of Jewish life; by A.D. 70 Jewish communities existed in Babylonia, Syria, Egypt, Cyrene, Asia Minor, Greece, and Rome. |  | | Diaspora: Jews Amidst Greeks and Romans.(Book Review) (Shofar) |

| | The Women's Review of Books: A feminist guide to good reading |
 | | But the most politically useful and difficult task, the way I see it, is to teach the students that the classes, the syllabi, the lectures that do not overtly advertise their politics (or even claim they have none) are always political as well. |  | | In this context, literary productions became sociocultural and political manifestations of (post)modernity, embedded in three centuries of dislocation of indentured labor, (neo)colonial regimes of political exile and relatively more recent waves of legal as well as illegal immigration that serve public and private sectors of technology, farming, clothing industries, domestic labor and, yes, academia. |  | | These strands all came together and made me curious about what was happening in the global sex trade for women from so-called developing countries. |

| | Armenian Studies and Its Future |
 | | The national-minded government officials and Armenian studies historians who dared to present an unbiased depiction of the Armenian history and to instill a national spirit in the new generation had to endure many privations and make sacrifices in their fight against the existing ideological standards, the Communist censorship, the faceless party machine and bureaucrats. |  | | On the other hand, Armenian studies centers and historians were deprived of steady government funding, and, consequently, the number of scholars and research projects in the Academic research centers and University departments had to be downsized. |  | | The Armenian non-political studies, in particular, developed especially well for a number of reasons, such as the national self-consciousness of and the willingness to preserve national identity, culture, and science among the common people, academic community, and some government officials. |

 | | Diaspora studies presuppose the existence of displaced groups of people who retain a collective sense of identity. |  | | Exile is part of diaspora, but diasporic exile is complicated by the unavailability or absence of a home and/or state, or by a deliberate choice not to move to the newly created state or "homeland," or by a tension about where the homeland, if it exists at all, really is. |  | | Studies of diasporic groups and diasporic cultural production are at the intersection of several fields of research on migration, global cultural flows, ethnicity and (post)coloniality. |
