	Cherishing the Irish Diaspora
		I am certain that they, too, will feel that the best possible commemoration of men and women who died in that famine, who were cast up on other shores because of it, is to take their dispossession into the present with us, to help others who now suffer in a similar way.
		Diaspora, in its meaning of dispersal or scattering, includes the many ways, not always chosen, that people have left this island.
		But if cherishing the diaspora is to be more than a sentimental regard for those who leave our shores, we should not only listen to their voice and their viewpoint.

		Diaspora and ethnic literature is difficult to account for, difficult to canonize, difficult to recognize.
		Second, the question of methodology here with specific attention to the study of diaspora and ethnic writing, and third, the notion of the applicability of my theory of "in-between peripherality" for the study of diaspora and ethnic writing.
		The parameters are similar: the diaspora author and text is "in-between" the original culture and literature the author and his/her text emanate from and both are "peripheral" with regard to the original culture and literature and their location.

		In fact, I have become more convinced each year that this great narrative of dispossession and belonging, which so often had its origins in sorrow and leave-taking, has become - with a certain amount of historic irony - one of the treasures of our society.
		Many of us over the years - and I as President - have direct experience of the warmth and richness of the Irish-American contribution and tradition, and its context in the hospitality of that country.

	Francois Pare
		In 1993, UW French Studies professor François Paré won the Governor General’s Award (French language, non-fiction) for his book Les littératures de l'exiguïté (Exiguity: Reflections on the Margins of Literature).
		As his novel of life on the road would seem to suggest, he carried with him a deep sense of migrancy and an ambivalent, but also geographically expansive, sense of roots—something Paré’s research suggests is not just a “beat generation” mindset but something also typical among members of the French Canadian diaspora.
		François Paré is a professor of French and currently Chair of the Department of French Studies at UW.

		chronicle the historical hurt of the Indian, his struggle for a place in the Caribbean, the development of the second diaspora as he eventually departs to the sanctuary of the cold and unfriendly metropole.
		One particular myth that has developed out of the second diaspora, is the impression by those left behind, that life in North America is a bed of roses, and this has led to the concomitant development of an idyllic complacency among those in the Caribbean waiting their turn to join their relatives in North America.
		Three special styles are noted in these stories: the cynical, comical and postcolonial chaos of Naipaul; the historical and metaphysical melodramas associated with Mittelholtzer; and the dialect and striking depictions of the disadvantaged rustic Indo-Guyanese that Monar excels in.

		Yet D.Y. Béchard surpasses Kerouac in his consciousness of the French as part of a larger people, how their struggle is socially and politically situated rather than strictly personal.
		But for Kerouac, as for Jude, one of the main protagonists of Vandal Love, even his success failed to conquer the curse of the defeated French Canadian male, and he died an early, ignoble death.
		What makes this novel Canadian is its sense of community and family as destiny, as opposed to the Americans' slavish veneration of individualism.

		As a director who spends as much time in New York as Los Angeles and Paris, Peebles himself is a symbol of the wide reaching expanse of the diaspora.

	Rethinking the Hyphen: Asian North American and European Ethnic Texts as Global Narratives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		These sentiments suggest the possibility of a cosmopolitan society which exceeds the boundaries of the nation, though it is one which is temporarily located between the wars and created by the shared love of the desert landscape.
		A novel such as Ingratitude by Asian French Canadian Ying Chen uses Asian names, but deliberately obfuscates setting, so that the novel’s intense mother-daughter conflict could be set in any city in the world.
		Asians in the diaspora, like other cosmopolitans, are no longer simply bound by allegiances to nation, culture, and ethnicity, but live plural identities shaped by many other factors, such as sexuality, gender, class, religion, education, health, and age.

	DAILY NEWS: Stockholm Winners; Diaspora Fest
		The brainchild of husband and wife academics Reinaldo and Diarah Spech, the festival also provides a launching pad for films that the Spechs distribute through their company, ArtMatten (named after a dry Saharan wind, "harmatten," and a combo of 'art' and 'Manhattan').
		Reinaldo is also championing the British documentary "Injustice" about those who have died in police custody in the UK, and the fest's opener, "A Room to Rent," which follows the tribulations of an Egyptian writer seeking residency in the UK, with American actress Juliette Lewis and directed by Egypt's Khaled El-Hagar.
		"'Diaspora' is a word that was used mostly by the Jewish population, but it's applicable to anyone." As their website declares, "Our mission is to present these films to diverse audiences, redesign the Black cinema experience and strengthen the role of African descent directors in contemporary world cinema."
