In Regina Lee's article Theorizing Diaspora: Three Types of Consciousness, she talks about the three characteristics of the Diaspora. In this article, they are the idealized homeland where immigrants move to away from their home in order to attain some kind of gain whether it is social or monetary gain, the incorporation of new cultures as the article talks about how the diaspora mixes with other cultures in order to create what in this class called "Hybrid Cultures" and the framing of the moving of going between countries which can be noted as the experience of their homeland and adopted country, This article reiterates what the class has been teaching about. The diaspora is when people move to provide some stability that they might never had when living in the their homeland but how there is an interconnected-ness or the globalization/transnational effect of understanding it. This article captures how the class is being taught. To understand the the notions of the diaspora within a globalization and transnational aspect in our post-modern world.
What happens if there are new ways to transform the diaspora like how the internet did at the start of the post-modern era?
