“…Diaspora’s affiliation with the home community is usually viewed as tendencies of reconnection or reintegration, which are conceptualized in related literature as various levels of contact (physical, virtual, lateral etc.) with homeland ranging from frequent physical journeys (territorial connection) to political, economic and social remittances to various forms of non-physical connection including digital networking, mass media, regeneration of memories, transfer of treasured material objects from place to place, and transmission of these objects across generations (Cohen and Fischer 2019, 7–8; Oonk 2019 285; Tomei 2008). Liberatore and Fesenmyer speak about (re)connection at the level of religion and note that thinking of diasporas as a category of process would enable us “to explore the ways in which diasporas are activated and transformed by religious practices, ideas, and experiences” (2019, 235).…”

“…It is important to see, for instance, what kind of shift (if any) in socio-cultural paradigms accompany migration processes. On the other hand, recent studies focusing on diasporic identity (Anteby-Yemini and Berthomière 2005; Oh 2016; Schiller 2009; Canagarajah and Silberstein 2012; Cohen and Fischer 2019; Liberatore and Fesenmyer 2019 has been calling for the investigation of also diasporas’ language repertoires, as essential clues to understanding sustainability vs. flexibility of diasporic identity perceptions. This article therefore also problematizes the place of language (both in terms of attitudes and behavior) in identity production of Azerbaijanis in Turkey.…”

The youngest generation of the Azerbaijani diaspora in Turkey was formed almost immediately after the downfall of the Soviet Union, resulting in the increased emigration of Azerbaijanis to foreign countries, in particular to Turkey, where the language barrier is minimal due to linguistic proximity. This article is an attempt to investigate the dynamics of identity production (and, consequently, senses of belonging) of the most recent generations of the Azerbaijani diaspora in Turkey in relationship to their linguistic and cultural repertoires. While language and culture are key factors in identity production, linguistic and cultural practices may be influenced by various social factors. I have therefore tried to examine the identity paradigms of Azerbaijanis living in Turkey in the frameworks of their ethno-national, socio-cultural, and socio-communicative perceptions. The survey I conducted for this purpose mostly covers post-Soviet immigrants to Turkey and, to a lesser extent, earlier generations of Azerbaijanis who settled in Turkey during Soviet times.

“…14 At the micro level, the real world of immigrants and refugees is not as tidy as policy categories imply. 15 As the literature on transnationalism and diasporas has demonstrated, 16 it is actually quite rare for individuals to completely cut their ties and relationships with their home countries, and they often move back and forth between their countries of origin and settlement. This calls into question the seemingly hard and fast distinction between "sending" and "receiving" countries.…”

The Vietnamese Refugee Crisis of the 1970s and 1980s: A Retrospective View from NGO Resettlement Workers

This article examines the role of NGO resettlement workers in refugee camps in Southeast Asia during the late 1970s and 1980s. The workers offered psychological support to refugees whose lives were in turmoil, but they also helped them present themselves in ways that would be most attractive to Western host countries. This process involves both commission and omission. NGO resettlement workers sometimes actively guided refugees by giving them specific advice and training. At other times, they facilitated this endeavour by observing how refugees fit themselves into the selection categories of various states, but chose to remain silent in order to avoid jeopardizing the refugees’ chances for resettlement.

“…Within this definition, diaspora is associated with negative experiences of displacement, victimisation, alienation, suffering and loss alongside a dream of (returning to) the (lost) homeland (ibid), as experienced by exiles, expellees or subjects of forced migration. However, Tölölyan 43 and Cohen 44 questioned Safran's emphasis on the coerced dispersal from the homeland as one of the prerequisite conditions of diaspora. According to them, even the Jewish diaspora of old was not solely forged by coerced displacement but also by voluntary emigration from the homeland in order to find better economic opportunities.…”

Artikel ini membahas keterkaitan antara agama dan imigrasi khususnya dengan kemunculan komunitas diaspora yang dibentuk oleh para imigran untuk melestarikan tradisi agama-budayanya di samping upaya untuk berintegrasi dengan masyarakat asli. Keberlanjutan peran agama dalam komunitas diaspora di negara-negara barat ini secara langsung bertentangan dengan proses sekularisasi yang telah ter jadi sejak decade 1960an-1970an. Mengadaptasi konsep diaspora, artikel secara khusus menelaah peran agama yang terus berlanjut dalam 3 aspek kehidupan para imigran di negeri-negeri Barat, yaitu (i) bentuk asosiasi sosial; (ii) bentuk kesadaran/identitas; dan (iii) bentuk/ pola reproduksi agama/budayanya. Para imigran membentuk dan mengembang- kan kelompok-kelompok sosial berbasis agama bersama-sama dengan berbagai aspek lainnya seperti suku, ras dan kebangsaannya. Para imigran juga berkecenderungan memiliki identitas ganda yang terbentuk dari warisan budaya termasuk agama yang senantiasa ber pengaruh bersama-sama dengan tumbuhnya ikatan dan rasa memiliki kepada negara dan masyarakat yang diting galinya sekarang ini. Terakhir, pr oses integrasi para imigran berlangsung melalui reproduksitradisi budaya dan agama yang difasilitasi oleh kebijakan multikulturalisme di negara-negara Barat saat ini.
