| | Diaspora - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Jewish diaspora in its historical use, refers to the period between the destruction of the Jewish state by the Roman Empire in 137 CE, to the re-establishment of Israel in 1948. | | | Originally, the term Diaspora (capitalized) was used to refer specifically to the populations of Jews exiled from Judea in 586 BCE by the Babylonians, and Jerusalem in 135 CE by the Roman Empire. | | | The French Canadian diaspora includes hundreds of thousands of people who left Quebec for "greener pastures" in the United States, Ontario and the Prairies, between 1840 and the 1930s. |

| | Guyana Journal Book Review |
| | Three special styles are noted in these stories: the cynical, comical and postcolonial chaos of Naipaul; the historical and metaphysical melodramas associated with Mittelholtzer; and the dialect and striking depictions of the disadvantaged rustic Indo-Guyanese that Monar excels in. | | | But as illustrated in the stories: Far From Family, American Dad, The Job Interview, and Sushila’s Bhakti, it can be seen that life in North America is nothing close to the myth. | | | One particular myth that has developed out of the second diaspora, is the impression by those left behind, that life in North America is a bed of roses, and this has led to the concomitant development of an idyllic complacency among those in the Caribbean waiting their turn to join their relatives in North America. |

| | Cherishing the Irish Diaspora |
| | Diaspora, in its meaning of dispersal or scattering, includes the many ways, not always chosen, that people have left this island. | | | I am certain that they, too, will feel that the best possible commemoration of men and women who died in that famine, who were cast up on other shores because of it, is to take their dispossession into the present with us, to help others who now suffer in a similar way. | | | One of the most understandable and poignant concerns of any diaspora is to break the silence: to find out the names and places of origin. |

| | Rethinking the Hyphen: Asian North American and European Ethnic Texts as Global Narratives |
| | However, these critics have not disputed the initial impetus which was the claiming of America, or the “appropriative manoeuvers for an Asian American integrity in the historical, cultural, and ideological formation of the United States” (D. Li 63). | | | A novel such as Ingratitude by Asian French Canadian Ying Chen uses Asian names, but deliberately obfuscates setting, so that the novel’s intense mother-daughter conflict could be set in any city in the world. | | | A number of critics have attempted to redefine the place of these hyphenated Asians, and to describe them in different ways. |

| | While my notion may be understood as a macro theory because it deals with "national" literatures, the notion of in-between peripherality can be also applied to diaspora and ethnic writing as a parallel macro theory based on the large corpus of writing in existence. | | | Second, the question of methodology here with specific attention to the study of diaspora and ethnic writing, and third, the notion of the applicability of my theory of "in-between peripherality" for the study of diaspora and ethnic writing. | | | And in English-language scholarship in general, there are many further examples and attempts to define diaspora and ethnic writing as I suggested in my introduction. |
