| Description: | The term geography—with its connotation of space, place, scale, territoriality and units of governance—is too rarely linked to invocations of diaspora. Since the 1990s the term diaspora has been increasingly used to signal and reinforce a sense of unity and identity between people, despite their dispersal to disparate locations around the globe. Therefore, the analytical strategy described in this book of researching diasporic experience and consciousness by pluralizing geography is pathbreaking. Moreover, the “geographies of the Haitian diaspora” are a particularly useful case in point for the development of a comparative diasporic studies that is able to encompass locality and globality. This is because the term diaspora has become commonplace, not only for scholars of Haiti, but also for people of all classes in Haiti and for persons of Haitian background, wherever they have settled. |
