Diaspora studies is an academic field established in the late twentieth century to study dispersed
ethnic populations, which are often termed
diaspora peoples. The usage of the term
diaspora carries the
connotation of forced resettlement, due to expulsion, slavery,
racism, or war, especially
nationalist conflict.
