In the reading "Beyond "Asian Diasporas" by Ien Ang explains the experiences of Asians and the Asian diasporas gave insight into issues they have dealt with within Asia and other countries around the world. The Asian diasporas have a long history that is complicated to explain due to their movement to parts of Asia and different parts of the world. Asian diaspora groups have shown us that we can look past the boundaries and categories that have been set for us in society since their experience can't represent one category of Asians. It made sense when the first connect the term diaspora by telling the Jews faced displacement from their homeland. I thought of diaspora as a negative term due to the experience from groups of people living in the host country like refugees and those who don't feel welcome in a different country. I didn't get the chance to hear about the diasporic experiences within Asian countries and countries other than America. Diasporic groups are not categorized since they don't feel that they belong in the homeland or the host country. It's incredible how the diaspora groups around the world had a difficult time keeping in touch with their mother country. Cultural globalization made it possible for the diasporic group to stay in touch with the mother country like media and fast transportation. The terms Asia and Asian are in different categories due to the " economic, social, political "( Ang 289) in the countries. The term Asian diaspora has created a structure that explains the transnational and globalization of people moving in and out of Asia to different parts of the world.
What are the terms of disoprice groups from other countries since countries like China use the term “modern Chinese transnationalism”( Ang 287)? Are the disoprice group value in different countries?
