The Dispersion

“With a breadth and depth of knowledge that is simply unrivaled, Dufoix uncovers the genealogy of diaspora from its ancient origins to its extraordinary proliferation in the contemporary era.

A work of massive erudition and ambition, The Dispersion is by far the most original, comprehensive, and exciting account of its subject.

It is hard to see how this book could ever be surpassed.”
– Kevin Kenny, Professor of History, Boston College, author of Diaspora: A Very Short Introduction (2013)

“Old and complex terms like diaspora migrate and mutate. Stéphane Dufoix has tenaciously revealed the social, historical and semantic metamorphoses of diaspora over the last 2300 years. His brilliant and definitive account will excite all scholars in the field of diaspora studies.”

– Robin Cohen, Emeritus Professor, University of Oxford, author of Global Diasporas: An Introduction (2008)
