Diasporas and Transportation of Homeland Conflicts

This book explores the transformation and reinvention of conflict-generated diaspora groups' politics in countries of residence. It calls for nuancing our approach to the links between diasporas and conflicts, to avoid falling into the essentialisation trap.The chapters in this volume were originally published in Ethnopolitics.
