Diasporic Citizenship

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the contemporary Haitian diaspora in New York City, the book explores the immigrants' adaptation to American society while maintaining connections to their homeland. It employs a critical transnational perspective to analyze their border-crossing practices and reexamines the concept of diasporic citizenship in light of globalization's evolving dynamics. The historical context of the nineteenth-century Haitian diaspora is briefly addressed, setting the stage for a deeper understanding of current issues faced by the community.
