Gabriel Sheffer and the Diaspora Experience

Abstract

Over the years, Gabriel Sheffer has written frequently on the significance of diasporas as political agents in the modern world (“New Field”; “Ethnic”; “Whither”; “Nation”). His 1986 article “A New Field of Study: Modern Diasporas in International Politics” describes the triadic network involving homeland, diaspora, and host country as the core of a new field of study; he adds that he is especially interested in analyzing this triad in the modern world (10). In his earlier contributions, he often makes explicit use of the term “modern diaspora” to mark the difference with “classical diaspora.” But, as befits a typical “long-sighted” person, his studies have broadened to include a great variety of diasporic situations in different historical settings.
