Abstract
The conception of ‘Diaspora’, was used initially in the classical world, has attained renewed importance in the late twentieth century. Once the idiom was applied principally to Jews and then less commonly to Indians, Greeks, Armenians and Africans. Now atleast thirty ethnic groups declare that they are a Diaspora, or are so deemed by others. Why these sudden declarations? Terrified by the coverage of international migration and their inability to construct a stable, pluralist, social order many nations have denied assimilating or integrating their ethnic minorities. For their part, minorities no longer desire to abandon their pasts. Many retain or have acquired dual citizenship, while the consequences of globalisation have meant that ties with a homeland can be preserved or even reinvented.
