Hearing from Home -When the State Talks to Emigrants
Résumé
The papers presented here first came together in Amsterdam about two years ago when four young historians presented their work together during the same session at a European conference on social history. They were dealing with very different topics, studying different populations, had not read each other's papers and probably had not even heard of one another. They were, however, dealing with nearly identical questions wondering how states and nations reached out to their emigrants-and doing so using very similar analytical tools, mostly coming from cultural studies and recent works in social science. Looking for diasporas or transnational phenomena, they were referring to terms and ideas coined to describe phenomena usually associated with the post-colonial era or the latest transformations of a globalised world.
