Abstract

This article presents a brief overview of diaspora theorizing and provides a case for expanding the temporal and spatial boundaries of existing diaspora research. It not only questions methodological amnesia and methodological nationalism in diaspora research in general but considers these as impediments to a better and more rigorous understanding of the diasporas of the Middle East in particular. Providing various examples, it seeks to make better connections between empires, colonialism, and diasporization.
