Abstract

There are two main things that are evident in this work. The first is that the concept of diaspora does not only have meaning in the african context, but in other regions as well. The second is that to study a people or a culture, one needs to trace the diasporic movements.
About ten thousand years ago, Asians settled in the Americas and the Caribbean islands. The Jewish diaspora, one that is two thousand years old, is also one of great study. The Muslim ethnicity was also spread widely across different continents. The term diaspora does not target one, single movement of african folk, it has more to do with the collective way in which the group has shifted. The author talks about five major diasporic events that happened in Africa.
