Luso-African Intimacies: Conceptions of National and Transnational Community

  • Chapter
Imperial Migrations

Part of the book series: Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship ((MDC))

Abstract

Rogers Brubaker (2005, pp. 6–7) has observed of the recent ‘proliferation of diasporas and of diaspora-talk’ the tendency for scholarship on transnationalism and diaspora to ‘fuse’. The growing literature on transnationalism, he suggests, have contributed to a ‘counter-current’ which highlights the role of processes of ‘boundary-erosion’ as well as ‘boundary-maintenance’ in the construction of diasporic ties. Brubaker appears to see this ‘interesting ambivalence’ as a symptom of the analytical incoherence of the concept of diaspora. Yet he himself invites scholars to think of diaspora as a category of practice rather than a category of analysis: to look not at what it ‘is’ but at what it ‘does’ (p. 13).
