		Diasporas inherently challenge conventional notions of citizenship and homeland and this project will examine the negotiation of citizenship requirements, rules of entitlement and sense of belonging in three diaspora populations.
		This is a study of diasporas and transnational peoples and the processesthat generate them and shape their articulation in the context of the new configurations of nations and states arising from the fall of the Soviet Bloc.
		In a search for commonalities between these diaspora peoples, and between what may seem to be quite different experiences of diaspora, we suggest the alternative notions of place and space--and the complex relationship between them--that underpin much of what differentiates diaspora peoples from others.

	Issues: Perspectives (September 1998): Defining and Studying the Modern African Diaspora
		The concept of a diaspora is not confined to the peoples of African descent.
		Although diasporas involve the movement of a particular people to several places at once or over time, a migration is usually of a more limited scope and duration, and essentially is the movement of individuals from one point to another within a polity or outside of it.
		Because, generally speaking, the peoples of Africa traditionally embraced an ethnic identification in contradistinction to a trans-ethnic, regional, or continentally based one, it is more historically accurate to speak of Yoruba, Akan, or Malinke diasporas for much of the period up to the late 19th century or even later.

		Where African peoples established communities often in response to forced segregation, they were always at risk of further displacement and land loss at the whim of white interests.
		A smaller number of people control an increasing amount of the world’s wealth, and the gap between rich and poor worldwide is increasing.
		It was only in the 1960s when African peoples were breaking the chains of colonialism all over the world, in Africa, the Caribbean, the parallel civil rights movements here in North America, that newly independent countries demanded their rightful places at the UN.

		In short, by "Italic peoples", and so by "Italicity", what is meant is a belonging in the widest "cultural" sense: not as ethnic or linguistic belonging as with those of Italian origin or who speak the Italian language or as the legal or institutional belonging of Italian citizens.
		It is not the only diaspora in the global world, but it has interesting and peculiarly distinctive identities and for this reason may make an original and significant contribution to building a more humane and peaceful global world.
		Diasporas such as, fro example, the Islamic cultural matrix, which is possibly the most “dissonant” with regard to Western society, may bring connections and resources, as well as conflicts, to the countries they move through.

	Saint Luke Orthodox Church - Ministries - Community
		It is erroneous in that it assumes that the issue here does not concern 'barbarian' peoples living either in the Roman Empire or beyond its limits, but administrative entities (defined by the State) and inhabited primarily by 'barbarians'.
		As regards the Russian Church, she was initially subject to the Church of Constantinople not because of Canon 28 of the Fourth Ecumenical Council, but because of the general principle according to which converted peoples are subject to the Mother Church that had Christianised them, until they have acquired the conditions necessary for autocephaly.
		We continue to be saddened to see that the legitimate and natural desire to bring together again our own people, who live dispersed for historical and political reasons, is the object of such harsh and unjust attacks on the part of the primate of a Church that has experienced a similar tragedy.

		With reference to rabbinic culture and contemporary Jewish ethnography, the authors evoke the cultural strategies of Jewish diaspora-of regeneration through statelessness-that should prove increasingly relevant to the dilemmas and possibilities of the "new diasporas" born in the midst and in the aftermath of the modern world-system.
		Their work exposes the various methods by which peoples in diaspora "legislate" distinctive ways of life and establish formal communal structures, thus creating fluid yet effective boundaries between themselves and the others who surround them, and critiques the internal power dynamics that can sometimes result.

		Sometimes national peoples mobilize outside the domain of a state (in exclaves) and sometimes within the boundaries of a state (enclaves).
		National peoples is the covering term that incorporates your notions of enclave and exclave.
