Abstract

The Conference Diasporas: Critical Issues at Mansfield College, Oxford from July 5th -8th 2008 provided a thinking-space for those of us invariably interested in, or who work with, issues and concepts of the diaspora/s. The conference signposted several themes which drew scholars and practitioners from a cross-section of disciplines across the globe. The wide range of topics offered a broad scope for engagement with issues pertaining to what has become one of the most contestable concepts of our times: diaspora/s.[From publisher's website]
